Dear Chuck (one-act)

Synopsis: Teenagers are typically caught in the middle: "they're not quite adults, but they're definitely no longer children. Through a series of scenes and monologues, we meet an eclectic group of teen characters who are trying to communicate with that wannabe special someone, coping with the loss of a classmate, battling controlling parents, swimming for that island of calm in the stormy sea of technology and many others. What they all have in common is the search for their "Chuck," that elusive moment of knowing who you are.

Notes: Written specifically for teen actors and commissioned by the Choate Rosemary Hall Summer Arts Conservatory. The cast is highly gender flexible and may range from 8-30+. Requires minimal set and tech and is suitable for middle school and older. It is constructed so that certain scenes may be removed if necessary to fit into a shorter running time.
