Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Contemporary! New! Real! These plays reflect the interests, issues, humor, and speech patterns of teens. They vary from four to twenty-two characters, gritty drama to farcical comedy. The plays can even interlock to create a longer piece, if desired! This is the must-have book for teachers and students looking for juicy material for teens.

When I read Kristen Dabrowski's Twenty 10-Minute Plays for Teens it made me wish I was a teenager again.
The writing is extremely witty and as every good actor knows, you need to have a character that goes on a journey, a character that changes through the course of the play. Some playwrights find this a hard graft when they have an hour and a half to prove their point, so it amazes me that Kristen Dabrowski can do this in ten minutes.
Teens won't be disappointed.

A lot of the plays are about about trying out for plays and seeing if you got the part, etc. That made it easy to get into the parts and a lot of characters are like people you already know. I liked the plays that were more dramatic, that are harder to do but more rewarding. I think high school students will like the book for these plays especially since they have more serious themes. Not all of them are dramatic -- the comedy plays are good for aspiring actors and actresses because the dialog is fast and the timing is really important to get down.

I purchased this book for my sister who teaches drama to teenagers. She loves this work. It's funny, touching and speaks directly to the kids. I would recommend Dabrowski's books to anyone who wants to introduce quality material to young performers.

After reading Ms. Dabrowski's very first book, I was intrigued to see what else she could produce, especially for an age group that's difficult to please when it comes to finding material that both they like and that adults can appreciate too. While many kids are starting to read Shakespeare, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams and the like at this age, it's hard for them to associate completely with those works. Having short plays, on subjects that are close to home and that they can relate to, makes more of an impact, and Ms. Dabrowski doesn't disappoint with this latest installment. She hits a lot of home runs - 20 of them, in fact, with this book. I highly recommend reading-- and acting -- the plays in this book.
