Plays By Youth, About Youth, For You: A Critical Anthology With Essays And Enrichment

From awkward first dates and rapping ducks to the more serious issues of addiction, love, and loss, Plays By Youth, About Youth, For You is bursting with the best selections of student writing from seven years of the annual Young Voices New Visions Short Play Fest. This collection of plays, written by students ages 8-18, deals with the topics directly facing young people today. Also included in this critical anthology are writing prompts, reading comprehension questions, and technology integration opportunities for use in the classroom, as well as a selection of commentary from educators, theatre professionals, and dramaturgs from across the nation. This one-of-a-kind collection, and the festival that inspired it, not only proves the vital necessity of education in the arts, but also the tremendous impact arts has on transforming a student's life.
