A collection of thirty royalty-free one-act plays for young players, using a wide range of dramatic forms, imaginative settings and colorful characters, is presented. A variety of subjects is included in these comedies, dramas, spoofs and programs: science fiction, ecology, history, storybook classics, and glimpses into life and folklore of other lands. Using broad ranges of talents and age groups, it is particularly useful for schools with an open-classroom or team-teaching approach. (NF)
