When Theatre for Youth: Twelve Plays with Mature Themes was
published in 1986, it met a need for plays that could help young
people deal with some of the more difficult realities of life.
Responding to the sweeping changes in society over the succeeding
thirty years, Coleman A. Jennings and Gretta Berghammer have
assembled a new collection of plays that reflects not only on
themes such as aging, death and dying, friendship, courage,
conformity, maturation, sexuality, and struggles with moral
judgment but also on gender identity, poverty, diversity, and
discrimination. Theatre for Youth II: More Plays with Mature Themes
presents twelve plays, nine of them new to this anthology, that
offer a rich variety of original stories (The Tomato Plant Girl,
The Arkansaw Bear, Super Cowgirl and Mighty Miracle), compelling
adaptations (The Afternoon of the Elves, Broken Hearts, Courage!),
historical drama (Mother Hicks, Johnny Tremain), diverse themes (La
Ofrenda, The Transition of Doodle Pequeno), friendship (The Selfish
Giant), and future societies (With Two Wings). As these plays
explore some of the most challenging themes for today's youth,
including the difficulties of single parenthood, divorce, race
relations, sexuality, and gender discrimination, they share
messages fundamental to us all: open your imagination and dare to
dream; embrace life; honor your personal passion, beliefs, and
creativity; take a risk; and love with all your heart.
