Some of the most popular plays that teens want to be in, help produce, and work on are The Wizard of Oz, Grease, Lil' Abner, The Helen Keller Story, Beauty and the Beast, and Phantom of the Opera. These are great plays and the characters can be played by teens and the characters themselves are also teens. Wizard of Oz and Lil' Abner are huge productions with a lot of characters.



This can be great with a large school where there are a lot of teens that want to be in the play. You also have plenty of singing and dancing and some of the greatest songs ever for the students to sing. I think what makes this play so great is that that teens even now have seen the movie and everyone wants the chance to sing the songs and do the dances that go along with the Wizard of Oz. Lil' Abner is another large play with lots of singing and dancing.

There are some very funny and strange characters in this play and the songs are wonderful and easy to learn. This is another great play where lots of teens that want to be involved can be and it brings in the family and friends to see the productions. Next, is Grease and with the recently released High School Musical that has come, Grease has become more popular than ever. Grease is a fun and lively play that all teens want to be a part of for the fun and energy that the play offers. The characters are great with girls wanting to be Sandra Dee or Rizo and the guys wanting to Zuko.

The play is timeless even though it is set in 1950's, it's still a favorite among teens and adults. The Helen Keller Story is wonderful because it is based off of Helen Keller herself and there is so much for teens to learn from the story and stretch their acting capabilities. Needing a student to be blind and for there to be crying and many emotions happening. Lastly, there is Beauty and the Beast and The Phantom of the Opera. These two are huge productions that have been done all over the world.
