This work features easily staged scenes with believable teen characters in various comic situations. People can't get enough of Laurie Allen's comedy duet scenes! Based on the popularity of her "Sixty Comedy Duet Scenes for Teens," this sequel was inevitable. Like her original, this funny book is written for middle and high school students, with a brand new collection of five- to ten-minute skits split evenly between scenes for females, males, and mixed. Allen is a pro at capturing a teen's voice, and many of her competition pieces have gone all the way to national speech and forensics competitions.

Teachers and directors just can't get enough of Laurie Allen's sketches for teens, ideal for classroom practice or contest use. This new collection of plays and scenes for teens offers more real-life situations for student actors to perform, portraying characters like themselves and their friends. These 26 fresh, original skits range from three to seven minutes with cast sizes from two to seven. Titles from this comic collection include: "Seriously Overdue," "Use Only as Directed," "Zebra Hamsters," and "Save Me from Myself." All scenes and short plays are believable and easy for shy or gregarious, beginning or advanced actors to perform

These scenes take place in the confines of school and are easily staged. The incredibly believable teen characters are daring, outlandish, uninhibited and creative as they deal with situations exaggerated by their own attitudes, perceptions and actions. The scenes focus on subjects they know very well -- dating, appearances, egos, fads, crushes, breaking rules, broken hearts, failing grades, embarrassing moments and much more. These are realistic scenes that help the teen audience and performers laugh at themselves. Perfect for classroom practice or an evening of entertainment.
