Welcome

The one-act plays and monologues you'll read here have been performed by teens and high school drama clubs throughout the world. The shortest one act plays are the length of skits, but contain thematic layers. Many of the comedies are especially written for large casts, which can also be done by small casts with players willing to take on many parts. Seeing my plays brought to life has given me great joy. I am truly grateful to all the high schools that have given my plays their time and energy.
