Synopsis
Kerry Muir who brought together scenes and monologues for children in her highly successful Childsplay here presents three complete short plays for older children and teenagers. They include: Promenade by Josh Adell Summer by Gideon Brower and Befriending Bertha by Kerry Muir herself. Serious comic and thoroughly contemporary all of these plays were successfully performed at The Young Actor's Studio in Los Angeles.
Synopsis
-- All the plays have been performed successfully at the Young Actor's Studio in Los Angeles, which commissioned them.
-- They have fairly large casts, with male and female characters who range in age from about 12 through 17.
-- The absence of adults is quite deliberate since each of the plays centers on older kids who confront their problems on their own, or with some help from their friends, and learn how to deal with their special reality.
-- The plays are funny most of the time, with moments that are serious and touching, and kids will enjoy acting in them, seeing them and maybe even reading them.
