Latest Play Script

by Lawrence Harbison – Editor

Published by Applause Books

The plays in this volume of 5-Minute Plays for Teens are perfect for production by high schools

Each play contains only teen characters, and the subject matter will appeal to aspiring young actors, making it easy to connect with the characters and situations

Some of the plays are comedic

Some are dramatic

Some are realistic in style

And some are more unconventional

Their length also makes them perfect for scene work in class

Some are by playwrights well known for their full-length plays, such as the prolific and brilliant Don Nigro, Richard Vetere, and Jack Gilhooley

But most are by exciting up-and-comers, such as Nicole Pandolfo, C. S. Hanson, Catherine Weingarten, L. E. Grabowski-Cotton, Christopher Innvar, and Adrienne Dawes

Ideal for theatre students, youth groups, and acting classes

REVIEWS

“I’ve worked closely and happily with Lawrence Harbison for a quarter of a century now … during which time he has been instrumental in getting the work of hundreds of new writers into print … His deep love for the theater and for all sorts of plays, his unbounded enthusiasm for good work, and his tremendously clear eye for talent are all legendary” ~ Don Nigro

“One imagines that most people purchasing this book and its sister version for teens will be doing so to find acting and directing openings or perhaps audition opportunities but, with so much variety, this book will prove great fun for general readers as well” ~ British Theatre Guide
