Plays for Young Audiences

Our newest featured list comes courtesy of playwright Claudia Haas, who offers the following introduction: "Theatre for Young Audiences, Youth Theatre, or what was widely called Children’s Theatre has a wide umbrella these days. The genre has never been more exciting. Yes, Cinderella and Alice-in-Wonderland will always have a place, but these days, playwrights are tackling loss, racial identity, LGBTQ concerns, science, history, gun control, the dystopian future, suicide, fitting in, sickness, multi-cultural stories: in short, everything that their 'adult' counterparts are writing about."

Nick Malakhow recommended The Electric Baby by Stefanie Zadravec
“ A gorgeous and haunting play that also happens to be incredibly hilarious! Zadravec explores grief, bereavement, love, and moving on by interweaving the stories of several unique and well-defined characters. I love how she presents so many different ways people respond to and grapple with tragic events. Interspersed with offbeat, human comedy, are so many moments of lyrical beauty and magic. The parable-like quality and use of storytelling simultaneously specifies and universalizes the world of the play. The stage pictures described within are sublime--how I'd love to see this onstage. ”
Sam Affoumado recommended Window (a monologue) by Lee R. Lawing
“ In Mr. Lawing’s Window, Peter, the endearing, self-described, OCD window-cleaner exhibits laser-sharp depth and insight into our new, if only temporary, “normal.” He takes pride in a job well-done and allows himself to delight in the beauty that’s just on the other side of the window. What a buoyant and engaging piece of writing for our time! Bravo. ”
Keegon Schuett recommended Cannabis Passover by Sofya Levitsky-Weitz
“ Dark and sad like a fish charred in the oven, but also funny in a way that hurts good like fresh jalapeño. This play finds the mystical in our modern pain and elevates us all. These characters get high and spirits sink as ritual becomes unclear and divisions become the new tradition.

The language of this play drunkenly sings along with Bob Marley and by the end, you feel warmed across centuries by the wonder of the burning bush and comforted by the fact that not even Alexa knows the answers to life's deep questions.

Read this play! ”
Steven G. Martin recommended Beatrix Potter Must Die! by Patrick Gabridge
“ A fun, literary "what if?" of a short play.

The stakes are high, there's strong dialogue and a nice bit of action, and more than a few twists and turns. "Beatrix Potter Must Die!" would be wonderful fun for performer, director, and audience alike. ”
