FAIRLY TOLD TALES
By: Michael Soetaert
For years parents have tucked their children into bed with tales of Brothers Grimm and fables from Aesop. No wonder so many kids wake up screaming from nightmares. Seriously, what was wrong with those guys? Witches eating children, rotten parents making deals with old crones, monsters and worse! It's about time someone set the record straight. This collection of...  read more
FAIRYTALE HEROES AND HEROINES
& other merry characters
By: Janice Fronczak
Completely original monologues inspired by fairytale heroes and heroines, also dipping into the worlds of nursery rhymes and children’s stories.

Get ready to laugh with Ken Levine's Fun Act Plays! This collection of 18 short comedies features one to four (but mostly two) actors.

FUTURE TRANSMISSIONS: EIGHT SCI-FI COMEDIES
By: Mike McCafferty
(: 75-90 : 2-6 , 3-12 , 0-5 , 5-23 
     )
An evening of eight science fiction comedies that combines the uniquely weird with the incredibly awesome! These character-driven shorts challenge the assumptions that sci-fi is too expensive to stage and/or all about “spaceships and laser guns.” In Boom!, three scientists try to deactivate a real “time bomb” that keeps blowing them up over and over...  read more
GRAPPLING WITH GRAMMAR: A COLLECTION OF TEN-MINUTE PLAYS
By: Donna Latham
It would be folly, of course, to start another unit on sentence structure without this innovative collection of ten-minute plays to help you effectively teach adjectives, idioms, pronouns and many other sentence parts to a group of students who would rather throw grammar (and quite possibly, the English teacher) out the window. Instead, toss that "drill and...  read more
MASTERING MATH: A COLLECTION OF 5 TEN-MINUTE MATH PLAYS
