Hello,
I'm really excited about this community and the potential for educators to communicate better and help each other. This is my first challenge for you. I am always looking for quality high school one-act competition shows. I'm looking for the following:
1) It needs to be 45 - 50 minutes in length (but I'm willing to cut a good full length)
2) It needs to have 8 - 14 characters (preferably more females than males) with a mainly ensemble cast.
3) I would like for it to either be cultural, focus on a strong social issue, or stylized. (Last year we had success with a Wiley and the Hairy Man in the style of physical theatre.) It can be spicy but must be high school appropriate.
4) It can be any genre as long as it's engaging and interesting (even though I am leaning towards a good drama). I REALLY dislike teen angst but I also don't like to produce shows that are too mature for high school age students to handle.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
