Dear Chuck (one-act)

Teenagers are typically caught in the middle—they're not quite adults, but they're definitely no longer children. Through a series of scenes and monologues, we meet an eclectic group of teen characters who are trying to communicate with that wannabe special someone, coping with the loss of a classmate, battling controlling parents, swimming for that island of calm in the stormy sea of technology—and many others. What they all have in common is the search for their "Chuck," that elusive moment of knowing who you are. Dramedy. 30-40 minutes. 8-30+ performers (gender flexible). Ideal for high school and middle school performers in one-act competitions and festivals. Published and performances licensed by YouthPLAYS (www.youthplays.com), publisher of plays for young actors and audiences.
