Dear High School is a full-length dramatic production about the joy, angst, trials, and triumphs of high school. This collection of plays themed together can be produced by as few as 6 actors and as many as 30, giving producers tremendous flexibility over the final production. It can be played with an all teen cast or a mixed adult/youth cast. All of these plays have been production-tested and adapted for minimal sets and ultimate flexibility. While these plays are curated together on purpose to provide a powerful thematic black-box show, the individual pieces can be produced in isolation as part of a school assembly, a forensics competition, a classroom assignment, or a specially themed event. Fun, challenging, and rewarding.
