<div>Keen Teens, the educational theatre partnership between Off-Broadway’s Keen Company and the publishing company Playscripts, Inc. is a unique educational theatre program which seeks to improve the quality of plays written for high school students by commissioning scripts from highly regarded professional writers. The playwrights’ only guidelines are that the plays be 30 minutes in length, involve a large cast, and reflect Keen Company’s mission of producing plays that are generous in spirit and provoke identification. Keen Teens then casts high school students from the tri-state area to perform in the World Premiere productions of these plays at Off-Broadway’s Theatre Row. Playscripts, Inc. publishes the plays, which have already garnered over 121 performances across the country.</div><div><br></div><div>In its first four seasons, Keen Teens produced plays by Naomi Iizuka, Anton Dudley, Winter Miller, Ryan Pavelchik, Courtney Baron, Bathsheba Doran, Barton Bishop, Jason Grote, Liz Flahive, Cheri Magid, Bekah Brunstetter, Marcus Gardley and Qui Nguyen. This year’s performances will be May 6-8, 2011 in the Clurman Theatre at Theatre Row.</div>
