I had decided that one of the shows my students would do this year would be Anatomy of Grey. I love the show and I love the parallels that we can draw from the show for our times right now. I am reconsidering, though, for something that is perhaps more light-hearted. What would be your suggestions? Recent comedies/light-hearted shows include: Moon Over Buffalo, The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, Too Much Light..., Almost Maine, and Bethel Park Falls. I would like something contemporary if possible. The two other high schools in my town are doing Noises Off and You Can't Take it With You, so I also want to avoid those. I have some strong female students, but, like many of you, this is a BIG rebuilding year for my program after the challenges of the past year and a half.
Thanks for your suggestions!
