You Don't Know Us...and Other Monologues for Teen Voices

Monologues are traditionally used for auditions and classroom work, but they are an overlooked form of performance art, epsecially for teenagers. This collection brings this usually standard genre into the performance spotlight. Like other collections by Dan Kehde, this one was developed and performed in what has now become an annual, and ever more popular, event at the playwright's theatre. Funny, hard-hitting, and poignant, these are honest portraits of young Americans searching for freedom, love and self-worth in the labyrinth of adolescence. Titles include "64 Reasons I'm Happy To Be Alive," "The Karma Kid," "The Admission Test," "Lovesickness," and 21 other challenging pieces for the young actor.
