Theatre for Young Audiences: 7 Original Plays with Commentary

This book introduces seven original plays in the Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) genre. Theatre for Young Adults: 7 Original Plays with Commentary uses plays to exemplify concepts and approaches to the TYA genre. Each play in the volume has production and performance photographs to accompany each of the seven plays. Through the reading, of both the plays and the commentary over concepts and issues particular to TYA, light may be shed on TYA as a specific theatre art form. Theatre for Young Adults: 7 Original Plays with Commentary can help guide the theatre practitioner who is thinking of developing or writing TYA for his/her own community or university. It is also of value to theatre artists in any specialization, to fine arts practitioners or critics, and/or interested liberal arts academics.
