All the Children Are Insane: A One-Act Play, (Paperback)

Dr. Trenton hasn't been a high school student in a long time, but when recruited by a vice principal to return as a consultant with the job to evaluate the high-achieving students who are all aspiring to make it into the school's top honors society--the Academic Americans--the good doctor finds that even a degree in psychology can't fully prepare anyone for these formidable teens! With characters that allow for flexible casting, and a spare setting that will make it easy to stage, this humorous short play will speak directly to the high-school experience for many young adults.

An Excerpt:

DR. TRENTON
How would you describe yourself, Kasey?

KASEY
(Stands up, looks into audience) I'm an Aquarius. I enjoy outdoor activities, movies, high caffeine, high-sugar beverages, and sunset walks on the beach. (Sits)

DR. TRENTON
Kasey, please. I'm this close to losing it.

KASEY
Sorry, Doc. Did you want me to describe myself in physical terms? Emotional? Philosophical? Agricultural? I like potatoes.

DR. TRENTON
In general, please. Describe yourself in general.

KASEY
I can do general.

DR. TRENTONThat would be great.
