for Student Actors
by MAGGIE SCRIVEN
Fifty-five sketches for teens
Paperback (176 pages): $17.95
Order #R-B312
These short skits with casts of two to six players cover
a wide variety of topics and drama styles. Some skits
are comic for learning comedy technique. Others are
situations for students to learn more about themselves
and others. The dialogue is crisp and easy to perform.
Very little planning and memorization is required to
stage these skits. Many may be staged readers theatre
style. They work well in a classroom and they may also
be used in a theatrical setting. Sample titles include:
Funny Isn’t Always Funny, Gossip among
Friends, The Principal’s Office, The Band and
Party Girls. They can be staged and directed by the
students themselves. Excellent for competition or
comedy revue shows.
