Naked at School: Three Plays for Teens

Puberty is a complicated and sometimes scary part of growing up, but these three plays by Craddock touch on some of the most difficult issues teens might face with thoughtfulness and humour. Each of the plays in Naked at School can be performed by as few as four people, and they cover topics such as suicide, alcoholism, and teen pregnancy without coming across as preachy or condescending. Each play is preceded by a list of characters and suggestions for how to dress the set and the minimum number of cast members needed. The plays take a compassionate stance toward those embroiled in the issues addressed, not laying blame on individuals but rather showing how multiple people can be affected by such challenges.
