Looking for a play for 6 girls

    I have six girls who are keen to do a show.  Any suggestions? Comedy or tragedy.  
    Suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    If you are looking for a one act:  Ladies of the Tower by Tim Kelly (There might be more than 6 roles - it's been a while!)

    If you're looking for a one act, look at Purple Ink from Pioneer Drama Service. It's a brand new family drama, excellently written for six women. Running time is 35 minutes.

    Hi, Nancy, I don't know the demographics of your student body or how edgy you'd want to go, but a historical and expansive option is:  Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf."  In a recent Teachers College English Language Arts class, I was surprised that none of the 20-something year old students in the discussion group had heard of this choreopoem.  I plan to add it to my H.S. unit on dramatic literature.   Best, Sylvia

    Alabama Rain is good, but it has 5 women.

    I am a huge fan of Kindertransport by Diane Samuels. 5 great female roles. There is a 6th character the Ratcatcher/Train Agent/ etc... that perhaps could be adjusted to give you your 6 roles...

    Thanks!
