Hi all,
My name is Dac Cederberg, I'm a brand new baby High School Drama Teacher. I have been working on selecting our fall show, and I would love your recommendations on scripts to read and consider! It's taking a lot of my time to sort through all the "chaffe" out there. Your suggestions of the "good stuff" would be immensely helpful. Here are some of the criteria I'm looking for (all of these elements are negotiable; feel free to suggest anything you think is good!):
Comedic
Light
Fun
Crowd Pleaser
Cheap
Straight play
Technically Simple
Full-length
Mature (not vulgar, but not childish) humor

One final note: I gotta say, I'm not really looking for a Don Zolidis/Tim Kelly/Jonathan Rand type "high school play". No shade at all to those guys (they're awesome!) but I would prefer something that has been done professionally in the past.

Thank you so much for your help!

You might look at Harvey by Mary Chase … it's a title that older community members will know … I did it years ago and it brought it a nice crowd. Cocktails with Mimi is also by her and and is cute also  

Also … some Neil Simon titles like Proposals or Rumors might work … well written … simple sets and not too inappropriate for high School. 

I've also looked at George Kaufman's You Can't Take it With You and Look Who's Coming to Dinner … both on my "to do" list at some point

Best of luck with your new program !
