Voices from the High School

Voices from the High School $10.99

Peter Dee

Published by Samuel French Inc

Too many high school actors perform works unrelated to their age or their needs or experience

Their work is often forced to be "clever" rather than honest and meaningful

Finding this artistically unproductive, New York's Circle Rep playwright Peter Dee developed a series of contemporary scenes and monologues suitable for production in secondary schools

Dee has brilliantly created vignettes reflecting the joys and troubles of growing up too quickly in America

The scenes are devastatingly honest, sometimes hilarious and always speak from and to the heart

The monologues and two character scenes cover such diverse subjects as alcoholism, love, drugs, teacher-student rapport, teen pregnancy, suicide, and much more

REVIEWS

"Peter Dee takes a realistic look at today's teenagers, their problems, and their dreams. This is not your usual high school pap" ~ Judy Klemesrud, New York Times

"I was worried about the content, being from a rather conservative town, but this show has generated more audience response than any other show that I've done here" ~ Drama Coach, Owensboro, KY
