Editorial Reviews

Gr 9 Up—This collection of 31 skits has a nice mix of female and male actors and works well in drama or speech classes. Each piece has a range of two to seven actors with options of up to a dozen, as well as suggested props and stage actions. The scenes are written with a superb sense of comic timing and portray authentic teen characters in high school settings. The selections are long enough to develop characters, and the two-person skits could easily be used for forensic competition. Because of its versatility and superior writing, this would be an excellent addition.—Terrilyn Fleming, Colby Public Schools, KS
