Position:Home>Theater & Acting> Does anyone have an idea for a short play for teenagers.?


Question:Teenagers want to be individuals yet part of a group. You could make people laugh at a black comedy about teenagers, but teenagers do so many things nowadays it would be hard to write something inventive that cannot be accused of plagiarism. How long is a piece of string, by the way? How long is 'short'? You could have fun with the fastest play ever written - say three actors, who keep dashing behind the scenes to change into another character. You could check out 'Teenagers' by MCR. hope it helps.
