I am looking for a play to present to jr. high and high school aged kids that deals with self-esteem, self image etc.

Any thoughts?

Thanks =)

The Secret Life of Girls-- it's an all girl show... very serious and quite dark... but deals with self esteem, self image and self respect. The reviews are incredible... and people who have seen it say that it changed their lives. We are perusing the script for next year, but getting the opinion of lots of educators and moms of teen girls. So far, the response has been positive. It's an all girl cast-- and deals with teen girl issues like gossip, cutting, anorexia and peer pressure. In the end, each girl realizes her self worth and how important it is to be yourself. They suggest a counselor being on hand for a post-show discussion.

The show is offered through the Dallas Children's Theatre. You can check their website for more details.
