{"product_id":"dear-high-school-mark-w-sasse-9798630187550","title":"Dear High School","description":"Poor grades, lofty dreams, desperate love, painful bullying, and tragic loss. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Dear High School\" is a full-length dramatic production about the joy, angst, trials, and triumphs of high school. This collection of plays themed together can be produced by as few as 6 actors and as many as 30, giving producers tremendous flexibility over the final production. It can be played with an all teen cast or a mixed adult\/youth cast. All of these plays have been production-tested and adapted for minimal sets and ultimate flexibility. While these plays are curated together on purpose to provide a powerful thematic black-box show, the individual pieces can be produced in isolation as part of a school assembly, a forensics competition, a classroom assignment, or a specially themed event. Fun, challenging, and rewarding. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis show will be unlike any you've ever produced but with themes we can all relate to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade Semantics (A comedy about bad grades.) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShame on the Moon (A new take off of Romeo \u0026amp; Juliet) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy Weight Paper (Two seniors after graduation face the reality of the changes ahead.) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade Semantics II: The Mentor (A raucous sequel to the first one.) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore Heart, Less Attack (A poignant play about parents, teens, and expectations) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Leaves Change Color (A girl experiences a tragedy.
