I showed this to Alan Kay and some of the other SC folk at a meeting, 
and Alan asked if it was widely available.  I meant for it to be, but 
just didn't get around to posting it yet, so I do so now, a bit 
belatedly.

I built this as a play-writing workbench for my 8 year old.  File it in, and do
PlayBench new openInWorld

(Written in Squeak 2.7, and just tested in 2.9)

I've attached a GIF of what it looks like.  Type in a name for each 
of the "actors" (different actors come up randomly), then type in a 
script (actor: line-to-say on each line).  When you click "Play," the 
actors "read" their lines.

FYI I've placed a draft of the chapter in which I build this -- it's 
the final case study in my book -- at:
