"Some of our most prolific and energetic actors are young people just discovering the wonders of theater in their schools and community theaters. It can be difficult to find great pieces for teens, who often end up playing much older characters. There are tons of great scripts for teens on the New Play Exchange—tell a teacher friend today!—and these are just a few of the pieces that I think portray young voices well, either through teenaged characters or age-nonspecific characters that would be a blast for teens to play. "—playwright Lainie Vansant
