Ten Minute Play Series: Girls & Guys

by Lindsay Price Canadian Author

This collection of short plays in our Ten Minute Play Series focuses on the relationships between girls and guys. The stereotypes, the sisters who look up to their older brothers, the boys who will do anything for their girls, the friends who don't want to let go.

Add to the mix a couple of gender neutral plays where the script takes on a much different tone if played by all girls, all guys or a mix of the two. It's all about bringing the characters on the page to life on the stage.
