This is a new collection of seven short scripts about kids who find themselves in assorted, and sometimes crazy, predicaments. It contains a variety of stories, from a playground spat to a time-travel mystery, to a courtroom comedy with an all-vegetable cast. All parts are written for kids.

This book is designed specifically for teachers—home school and classroom educators, for Scout troops, for after-school facilitators and for drama clubs and parents. And don’t let a low or no budget scare you! I’ve been there many times in my years with children’s theatre. I provide easy set, prop and costumes suggestions at the end of each play.

These plays cover a variety of ages, seven years old through early teens, with the option of extras in several of the plays. I have kept age and gender flexible, so feel free to change the names to fit your cast.
