It's no mystery that fun and exciting programs bring teens into the library. Theater programs provide a venue for teens to express themselves creatively, encourage their participation in library programming, and offer them the opportunity for lively interaction with peers and adults. In Library Programs for Teens: Mystery Theater, Karen Siwak provides readers with complete instructions for creating a successful mystery theater program. With this guide, Siwak solves the ever puzzling programming issues of timing, setting clues, props, costumes, decorations, and food.

In addition to providing a basic formula for such programs, Siwak presents nine original teen-tested scripts―from the intriguing "Medieval Murder" to the hijinks of "Case of the Looney Librarian"―that will appeal to a wide variety of audiences. Reproducible graphics, flyers, bookmarks, invitations, nametags, book tie-ins, and player worksheets are included with each script. Programming is no longer perplexing with this heavily-illustrated collection of original mystery theater scripts for teens. Public and school librarians will find this volume a valuable tool for educational and entertaining programming and also for simply planning a fun party.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

This extensive guide provides a wealth of information on mystery-theater programs. This type of event combines a whodunit with performance, which attracts nontraditional patrons and allows teens to interact with adults in a fun setting. Part I focuses on the nuts and bolts of the program, explaining how to host a mystery and the steps to create your own script. The meat of the book is Part II, with its collection of library-themed and general mystery scripts that are lively and entertaining. Each one has a list of characters, interrogation questions, and suggestions for props and costumes. There are also examples of publicity pieces and handouts. The only drawback is the lack of a CD or Web site that would allow users to reproduce the materials or to use a template to create their own scripts. Still, this guide is invaluable for what it does.—Melissa Rabey, Frederick County Public Libraries, Frederick, MD
