I read a play with my advanced acting class every quarter. We study themes, character, style, design, etc. In the past, we've read things like Oedipus, Doll's House, Macbeth, Tartuffe, Our Town, Long Day's Journey, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, and Everyman, A lot of the kids in this class are also AP students, so they are able to use these in their AP exams. However, I'm starting to get tired of teaching classic dramas and want to start mixing in contemporary and comedy plays.
All that to say, what are your best suggestions for plays either in the contemporary or comedic genre that are worthy of an in depth classroom study?
