FAMILY COURT
Script by Toby Dewey.
Music/lyrics by David Friedman.

Middle/High School.

FAMILY COURT is about fourteen-year-old Allen Greenfield, who wants to divorce his parents. Meeting in the courtroom with his parents and a judge, Allen recounts in flashback scenes the difficulties he has encountered at home, in school, and with the law. While the tone of the show is poignant, the play has many light moments and concludes with an upbeat ending as Allen and his family are willing to make a fresh start. This is an ideal show for larger casts, as the play depicts Allen, his siblings and his friends at three stages of life.
