Sixteen in 10 Minutes or Less

I am extremely excited to have added a new play (or should I say, plays) to my website! I am especially proud of this full-length collection of ten 10 minute plays and hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them. In addition to being performance pieces, they would also make terrific classroom material for drama students and teachers.

Synopsis: The lives of seven teenagers become intertwined in this humorous and often times bittersweet collection of ten minute plays. From extracting a gummy bear out of a new set of braces to coping with bullies who have claimed a school bench as their own, these characters share their innermost hopes and fears with each other, ten minutes at a time. As the audience drops in on these intimate moments, they will come to understand that being sixteen isn't always easy.

Included plays: Friend Request, Double Click, Brace Yourself, Lazy Eye, Fireworks, Pay Phone, Bench Warrant, Wheels, Tumblefur, Status Update: A Symphony

The plays included may be licensed together or separately. The piece was conceived as a full-length evening of entertainment, but each short stands perfectly well on its own without any prior knowledge of the characters.
