Book Synopsis

A collection of plays for young people, reflecting the ethnic diversity of the American landscape



Trade Review

"I am so pleased that there is a new anthology of plays for young people, and even more so since it contains the work of four compelling female playwrights. These four plays, with their varying plots and many great characters, are shows that young people should see. They are also shows that young people can perform in. Particularly by choosing pieces that explore the world of young people in the United States today, The Face of America speaks to their real stories and real lives." —Linda Hartzell, artistic director, Seattle Children’s Theatre
