For children from 7 to 13, here is a treasure chest of excerpts from a rich and exciting variety of sources.  Scenes and monologues come from such plays and films as The Diary of Anne Frank, Brighton Beach Memoirs, The Secret Garden, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and most appropriately, from writings by children themselves.  Ideal for regular classroom use as well as for drama school programs, Childsplay introduces students to the world of language and theatre while it also includes selections that will challenge even accomplished child actors.  The fine collection of scenes includes 18 for a boy and a girl, 9 for two or more girls, 5 for two or more boys, and 4 for groups of three or more.  In addition, the more than 30 monologues ensures theatre teachers will find a monologue for everybody in the class.
