Short scenes about dating life.

I taught high school for 31 years & that’s the problem every year. Look at: Exhibit This! The Museum Comedies published by Samuel French.  Comedy with 7 one acts, 6 monologues.  It has 34 parts that can be doubled (Genders changed.)  It is done often. Two high school took it to the Edinburgh Festival this summer. The following link is to a professional theatre production by Playhouse on the Square at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art & at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens. It's about the Metropolitan Museum of Art that comes to life one night!  http://www.commercialappeal.com/go-memphis/paintings-themselves-are-missing-characters-exhibi   

And look at: ALL THE KING'S WOMEN published by Samuel French.  Comedy with 5 one acts, 4 monologues.  There is an ad in the recent November issue of Dramatics Magazine (the College Theatre Guide) for the play on page 86.  The scenes are great for acting classes!  Break a leg.

Thank you everyone!  We ended up writing our own piece which was a blast.  But now we are producing Almost Maine.  Thank you for all of these wonderful recommendations.  I will be looking through your suggestions again this year to see offer suggestions to my current seniors.  Thank you!

Another option for the future is Neil Simon's The Good Doctor.  There is only 1 recurring character and I don't recall that he has scenes with anyone else...he acts as a narrator or story guide, if I remember correctly.
