Free Scenes for Teens

Scenes from published and new plays. If interested in entire play, links to publisher are provided.
​

Scenes for classroom use.

FREE SCENES FOR TEENS  - Scenes suitable for classwork

Below are scenes from published plays as well as short scenes that have been used in short play festivals (Gone in Sixty Seconds - Brooklyn and United Kingdom), Hit and Run Festival (Spokane, WA) and published in anthologies. They are free for classroom use and drama clubs only (not to be used in festivals or student one-acts even if no admission is charged). Please contact me if you plan on using them so I can see where they wind up (your school, city and state). Please do keep my name on the scripts and I would be appreciative if nothing goes to Youtube. Unless the publisher is noted, you may contact me on the Contact Page. The plays/scenes running times vary from 2 minutes to ten minutes. The subjects are as varied as 9/11, the Holocaust, the White Rose Society, street harassment, fairy tales and Native American folktales. Print, play and enjoy!
