While there are numerous plays on my Play Catalogue page that have been performed by teen actors at high schools, middle schools and youth theatres, the plays on this page were, by and large, written with them in mind. In fact, many were specifically written for teen performers. Why not consider them for possible production at your school, theatre, camp or other program?

The Locker Next to Mine Now Available
My new play, The Locker Next to Mine, is now available. It's a full-length drama, though spiked with humor, about teen suicide and dealing with loss. I'm looking for a group to stage the world premiere. Could that be you?
Though the one-act version, available from Playscripts, stands on its own (and is perfect for competition!), this play was always intended to be a full-length composed of three acts: Rumors of Polar Bears, Ursa Major and Northern Lights. Look for the other two plays in the cycle sometime in 2012.
