Why Practicing Teen Scenes from Published Plays Builds Acting Technique

We encourage young thespians who are in need of teen scenes to give the play scripts we’ve added here a try.

Each scene comes from a short contemporary drama play, covering subject matter involving broken relationships, first love, illness, abandonment, true friendship, pollution, life’s purpose and more.
