Begun in 1989 by a consortium that included the Seattle Children's Theatre, The Children's Theatre Company of Minneapolis, Stage One: The Louisville Children's Theatre, and the Honolulu Theatre for Youth, the NGPP raised half a million dollars to commission major American dramatists to create new works for young people and to produce these plays over a several-year period. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This book provides the full text of the plays produced through the NGPP: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Constance Congdon, \u003ci\u003e Beauty and the Beast\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Velina Hasu Houston, \u003ci\u003e Hula Heart\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tina Howe, \u003ci\u003e East of the Sun and West of the Moon\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Len Jenkin, \u003ci\u003e The Invisible Man\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mark Medoff, \u003ci\u003e Kringle's Window\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Eric Overmyer, \u003ci\u003e Duke Kahanamoku vs. The Surfnappers\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Michael Weller, \u003ci\u003e Dogbrain\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Y York, \u003ci\u003e The Witch of Blackbird Pond\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In his introduction, Coleman Jennings describes the work of the NGPP, some of the controversies surrounding its selection of playwrights who do not ordinarily write for young audiences, as well as the playwrights' reactions to the project, and the critical reception of the plays.
