The Best Scenes for Kids Ages 7-15 contains 50 challenging scenes for
kids by some of our finest playwrights. All have subject matter
appropriate for production in schools, much of it serious and
challenging which will interest child performers without offending
administrators, teachers or parents. Some are comic (laughs), some are
dramatic (no laughs), some are seriocomic (some laughs). There are
scenes here by veteran playwrights such as Don Nigro, Jenny Lyn Bader,
Eric Coble, Constance Congdon, Arleen Hutton, Jack Neary, Kermit Frazier
and Carlos Murillo, and by exciting up-and-comers such as Cassandra
Lewis, Reina Hardy, Deanna Alisa Ableser, Martha Patterson, Mark Lambeck
and Merridith Allen. Some are from plays, but many are original pieces
written for this book. The age of each character is given, but don't let
that deter you if you like the scene, as many could be done by kids not
that age.
