About the Book The plays in this book have all been performed by young people and have proven entertaining, versatile and easily producibile in many different venues. Teachers, young actors and audiences find these scripts appealing because they feature interesting characters, engaging plots, imaginative staging concepts and witty dialogue. The first play, A Look All Her Own, is a heartwarming, modern Cinderella story about a girl who dares to be different. This play is perfect for large casts consisting of various age groups. The Legend of the Lost and Found Box is a unique and imaginative play about four students who confront a notoriously dangerous lost and found box in order to rescue one of the student's most precious possessions. This play has minimal props and costumes and basic blocking requirements, making it extremely easy to stage. The next play featured in this book is called A Fairytale Medley. This fun script is designed for a small and enthusiastic cast. It integrates different fairytales into an interesting collage of scenes including tableaus, storytelling, recognizable references to modern media and audience participation. The final script included in this collection is a monologue entitled The Phone Call. In this piece, Leah reveals her frustration and insecurities as she vents her anxieties after a phone argument with her love interest, Keith.
