Hi all,

I'm on the hunt for next year's show. The students have expressed an interest in doing something about pirates, but they'd also be open to steampunk or other fun adventure genres. I should have 15-20 students, so flexible casting and opportunities for creative staging would be great. Also swordfighting. I'd rather not do a Robin Hood adaptation since some neighboring schools have recently done them. One sticking point is that I have a student who is a Jehovah's Witness, so we can't do anything with ghosts, vampires, witches, etc. Some things I'm looking at currently include The Twelve Huntsmen, a girl-power revision of Around the World in 80 Days, and a couple versions of Treasure Island. But I'd love to hear any other thoughts!
