    Looking for any short play(s) suggestions for about 15 students to direct and perform in an acting class.

    Do they all have to be in one play?  Something we do with our Advanced Acting is use 10 minute plays so they can be in smaller groups.  Some of the ones we're liked around from 10 minute play books.  Some great ones from recent classes are below.  I have more that I'd have to look through but if you decide to go this route and need more, let me know and I'll should you some more good ones.

    John Guare has several quirky and awesome ones.  Loveliest afternoon of the year, etc. 
    Durang does as well (Naomi in the living room) 
    but they are super quirky! 
    I agree the 10 minute play compilations are a good way to go!
