Keen Teens is a unique and free educational theatre program run by
the Drama Desk and Obie Award-winning Keen Company. Keen Teens
seeks to improve the quality of plays written for high school
students by commissioning scripts from highly regarded playwrights
and gives students the opportunity to work with professional
artists in an Off-Broadway setting. This collection includes:
Winifred and Myrtle Go to High School (13m or f, flexible ensemble)
Winifred and Myrtle are old. Super old. Like a hundred. And so is
their dog. But when a birthday wish magically transforms them in a
way they never expected, things are going to get lit at the local
high school. Around 2 (4m, 6f) On the night of the 2016
presidential election, a high school government club gathers to
watch the results come in. Evelyn, the club president, must make a
difficult choice. As the night wears on and the winner becomes
clear, the students struggle to understand what is happening
between them and across the country. The Caribbean Queen (13m or f)
Parents are lame. Vacations are lame. Vacations with parents...I
can't even. But everything is not what it appears to be on this
cruise ship. Sam is about to go on a fantastic journey much farther
from home than she could have imagined.
Three employees of Harlem Office, New York, a neighbourhood copy
shop where promotions are rare, raises are even rarer, and racism
is often on display... Dolphins and Sharks is set in a mundane copy
shop, but paints a brutal picture of life as an employee. The boss,
Mr Timmons, is never on stage, but his orders must be obeyed by his
staff. When one staff member is given the chance to move up to
manager, friendships are tested and loyalty turns out to be less
valuable than cold hard cash. Soon cutbacks and office politics
have everyone fighting to keep their jobs and their sanity.
"Encapsulating the cruelty of 21st-century capitalism in one retail
outpost, Tyler conveys a gut-level understanding of this world in
which more and more is expected for less and less." (Theatermania)
Dolphins and Sharks has been performed to critical acclaim
Off-Broadway and at the Finborough Theatre in London/
