Short Scenes and Monologues for Middle School Actors

Eleven- to fourteen-year-olds bring unrivaled energy to the work of making theater. They demand dramatic material that speaks directly to them--that captures their every daybutgigantically important struggles with school, parents, and friends; that explores their painful wrestlings with the hard knocks and hard choices of adolescence; and that ignites their desire to imaginatively explore other places and times. This collection of scenes and monologues offers exciting monologues and multiple-actor scenes that are outstanding short audition pieces.
