  • 1.  One Act Comedy for Large Drama I Class?

    Posted 01-18-2022 08:13
    Hi, all! I'm new to this community and a first year Drama teacher. I'm hoping to end the year in Drama I with a One Act Comedy and would really appreciate some help finding a good play. Any suggestions? I have 25 students in the class, so it would need to accomodate a large cast. I would also love for it to challenge my students to play characters who are not high schoolers themselves, as we have recently done a lot of work using scenes and characters that are very familiar to them. Thank you SO much!!

    My Advanced Drama class is currently working on The Perfect Ending. It can easily accommodate 25 actors, though some roles are pretty small. The tech doesn't have to be too complicated, though you will need some 50/60's style clothing.
