"The Young Actors Theatre, a theater school for children from Kindergarten- 12th grade in Denver, Colorado, has produced Edith Weiss's scenes and plays for the past 25 years. They have been performed throughout Colorado, in San Francisco, California, Vancouver, B.C. and at The International Children's Festival at Wolf Trap in Reston, Virginia.

The scenes in "The Agony and the Hilarity: the Life of Teens" are a fast paced and fresh look at a teenager's life. My actors enjoyed the script because of Edith's dialogue, the multi-faceted characters, and that there was plenty for everyone to do in each of the scenes. I love Edith's work because it develops a sense of ensemble and clearly shows that all cast members are equally important to the production."

By Georganne Sugden - Director - Young Actors Theatre
The scenes in this play are the culmination of years of working with teenagers. I know teens don't want to feel ''dorky'' or do anything they feel is juvenile...but they love funny. Some of the scenes have toured, some have won prizes at competitions...all are tried and true. There's enough to choose from that the cast size is up to you. Most of the scenes use very little in the way of props, and set is not a necessity either. Have fun with this!
