"Conkel has a keen ear for the often comical, self-absorbed posturing and casual vulgarities of contemporary teen-spiel..."

- Variety

 

"If the satire is at times wickedly funny, Conkel makes his teenage girls, and the pressures they have to cope with, real enough that we want to take them seriously."

- San Francisco Gate
"Filled with appalling but true-to-life observations and a keen ear for teenspeak..."

- Backstage

 

"the play speaks across the generations with its exploration of the frustration and heartache that arise from the powerlessness of youth."

- Oregonlive.com

"a razor sharp satire, whose caustic observations will linger long after the actors take their bows."

- EDGE Magazine

 

 

 

 

 

The Chalk Boy

by Joshua Conkel

 

4 Females

 

Synopsis: Beneath its boring facade there is more going on in the tiny town of Clear Creek than the opening of the new Taco Bell.  Four of the town's local girls are here to take you on a tour of their funny, yet brutal reality.  They struggle with faith, friendship, sex, the occult, algebra, and the disappearance of... The Chalk Boy.  This is a deathly black comedy that punches as hard as your high school bully.
