        <Summary>Contemporary Drama Service has it all!</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;Always something fresh and new at Contemporary Drama Service -- true to our name! For over 35 years we've been publishing new and different plays. Our musicals, plays and monologue collections are especially designed for schools, churches and community theatre. They can be used in the classroom, on-stage, or for school radio and TV.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h2&gt;One-Act Plays, Full-Length Plays and Middle School Comedy Plays&lt;/h2&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Thirty Short Comedy Plays for Teens" href="https://www.contemporarydrama.com/CatalogDetails.aspx?cat=152" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Thirty Short Comedy Plays for Teens" align="baseline" src="http://www.meriwetherpublishing.com/images/newsletter/b292313.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Contemporary Drama Service Homepage" href="https://www.contemporarydrama.com/Default.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Contemporary Drama Service&lt;/a&gt; offers comedy scripts for large casts and small -- full-length plays and one-act plays. Just off the press is a play collection book titled &lt;em&gt;&lt;a title="Purchase Thirty Short Comedy Plays for Teens" href="https://www.contemporarydrama.com/CatalogDetails.aspx?cat=152" target="_blank"&gt;Thirty Short Comedy Plays for Teens&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; by &lt;a title="About Laurie Allen" href="https://www.contemporarydrama.com/AuthorsDetails.aspx?CatID=111" target="_blank"&gt;Laurie Allen&lt;/a&gt; that will keep your teens laughing on-stage and off. The dialogue in these plays features uninhibited and uniqe characters that challenge young actors to take chances and explore opportunities. Some of the play titles include &amp;quot;Class Clown,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The Kissing Booth&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Just Act Natural.&amp;quot; Laurie Allen's plays have been performed at national speech and forensic contests with great success.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h2&gt;Monologue Books and Monologue Collections&lt;/h2&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Tell It Like It Is" href="https://www.contemporarydrama.com/CatalogDetails.aspx?cat=154" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Tell It Like It Is" align="baseline" src="http://www.meriwetherpublishing.com/images/newsletter/b295419.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Award-winning playwright &lt;a title="About Peg Kehret" href="https://www.contemporarydrama.com/AuthorsDetails.aspx?CatID=47" target="_blank"&gt;Peg Kehret&lt;/a&gt; has another new book of thought-provoking monologues for teens, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a title="Purchase Tell It Like It Is" href="https://www.contemporarydrama.com/CatalogDetails.aspx?cat=154" target="_blank"&gt;Tell It Like It Is&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. These monologues are both comedic and serious to help provide insights for the performers and audience to learn who they are and why. They give the actors the opportunity to recount a memorable event that opened the way to their maturity. Sample titles include &amp;quot;The Tooth Fairy Forgot,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Goodbye Old Jeans&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Why It Took Me Four Hours to Make My Bed.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;h2&gt;Church Plays&lt;/h2&gt;
