Bekah Brunstetter, Marcus Gardley, Qui Nguyen to Pen New Works for Keen Teens

Bekah Brunstetter, Marcus Gardley and Qui Nguyen have been commissioned to write new plays for Keen Teens, the educational theatre partnership between Off-Broadway’s Keen Company and the publishing company Playscripts, Inc. The works will be produced Off-Broadway, featuring student actors, in May 2010.

Keen Teens is a program which seeks to improve the quality of plays written for high school students by commissioning scripts from highly regarded professional writers. The playwrights’ only guidelines are that the plays be 30 minutes in length, involve a large cast, and reflect Keen Company’s mission of producing plays that are generous in spirit and provoke identification.
