From School Library Journal
Grade 6-12 --A wide range of topics is addressed in this sourcebook of 60 original scenes and monologues, including single-parent families, drinking, emerging and dissolving friendships, pregnancy, and self-image. Kehret, however, tends to present and resolve these genuine adolescent concerns in a series of neat little packages, turning away from her subjects just short of their harsher truths. This inclination may be the result of enforcing the theater's traditional rule of closure on relatively brief pieces. Still, one must wonder if it wouldn't be more valuable, for performers and audiences alike, if form were permitted to slip a bit, so that unpolished verity might steal through. --Dianne G. Mahony, The Harvey School, Katonah, NY

Something for Everyone,
By A Customer
This review is from: Acting Natural: Monologs, Dialogs, And Playlets For Teens (Paperback)
Excellent source! As a drama director for a Girl Scout theater group, it's often difficult to locate material that appeals to pre-teen to teen aspiring actors. This book is full of great scripts that kids really relate to and enjoy presenting. I recommend that all teachers, drama instructors and youth leaders put this book at the top of the pile.

This review is from: Acting Natural: Monologs, Dialogs, And Playlets For Teens (Paperback)
I am a Theater Arts teacher and I have trouble finding material that my students can relate to, but when I stumbled upon this book, I was amazed at how well my kids could perform with this material. It just clicked with them!
