  • 1.  Needs ideas for small cast of 8th graders.

    Hi!  I'd love hearing your suggestions for play ideas for 8th graders, preferably about 45 minutes or so.  I have 8 capable students, and only 3 are girls.  I prefer plays that require period costumes, but it's not necessary at this point.  Thanks for any ideas!

    I don't want to be like "Wheee! Shakespeare!," but I did 30-Minute Shakespeare for years for middle schoolers, and some of the cuttings are really fantastic for that age range. I.E. Clark also has a decent adaption of She Stoops to Conquer for a cast that size.
