Grow Up, Girls

Three takes on coming of age
PictureClaire Stewart-Moore as Wendy in The Girl Who Would Rather Not Grow Up Just Yet (produced as Lock Up Your Chaperone, Short + Sweet Sydney 2014)
Published by YouthPLAYS (Los Angeles)

Comedy. 30-35 minutes. 3-10 females, 0-3 males (4-10 performers possible). Suitable for high school and older.

In The Girl Who Would Rather Not Grow Up Just Yet, the first of three takes on coming of age that can also stand on their own, Wendy is a spoiled 16-year-old with a severe case of Peter Pan syndrome. A high school principal and two of her students deal with the aftermath of a cyberbullying case in Refloat Our Whale. And in Grow Up, Juliet, just as Shakespeare’s heroine is ready to join Romeo in death, she learns she is the victim of an elaborate hoax…

Wendy's opening monologue is also published in Go Solo: Contemporary Monologues for Young Actors. (YouthPLAYS)
