Good Afternoon,
I teach in a conservative community and we will be opening our new auditorium this fall. For the first time in 9 years I have more female talent returning than male to showcase. The two titles I keep going back to that I feel are safe (as in nothing my community would raise an eye brow) is Radium Girls & Anatomy of Gray. Both are titles I keep going back to throughout the years, but never had enough male roles to cater to. Would anyone recommend one over the other? Would one be a better opener? I feel a little pressure to select something special with it being the first show in the auditorium. I love that Radium Girls is based on a true story and can have an expandable cast and co-curricular opportunities. Anatomy of Gray could showcase one of the males returning who is very talented and I feel like it's written in a way to appeal... I like the way it's written & you could add to the cast with additional townspeople. Also I was curious how tough costuming was since both would need time appropriate pieces & lighting effects are crucial to both.
Would love your input!
Samantha Roop
