Overview

Keen Teens is a unique and free educational theatre program run by the Drama Desk and Obie Award-winning Keen Company. Keen Teens seeks to improve the quality of plays written for high school students by commissioning scripts from highly regarded playwrights and gives students the opportunity to work with professional artists in an Off-Broadway setting. This collection includes:

The Dance Company
Three former jocks infiltrate an all-girls high school dance company.

Flip Turn 
A fantastic blending of the under- and above-water worlds at a public pool, when an ordinary day calls for extraordinary feats of daring and trust.

A Polar Bear in New Jersey
A teenage polar bear sets out on her own…to New Jersey. A play that’s a little bit about global warming, but mostly about fitting in when you’re different.
