Synopsis
Here and Now
Published by Dramatic Publishing
Large Mixed Cast
It takes place on the bare stage of your high school auditorium. In Scene 1, a group of actors begin rehearsing the play
The play they are presenting is loosely based on actual experiments in a Connecticut high school in which students, teachers and parents met for sessions in a human relations group called a "Here and Now" meeting
As the actors work on the play, their identification with the characters becomes stronger, and as the confusions and tensions of their parts surface, their own hang-ups emerge, too
Finally, the characters, the actors and the audience will learn that they are not alone with the pressures and confusions young adults, teachers and parents face today
