Hello Brett,
At the risk of sounding like I'm marketing, I'd like to suggest a musical play I wrote, The Frog Prince, that's available on the Teachers Pay Teachers site. It's available royalty-free.
It's positive, charming, and good entertainment. However, it's only 50 minutes long. You'd have to pair it with, possibly, a straight play, which might not be a bad idea.
Good luck, and thank you for all you do.

Peter and the Starcatcher creates a magical adventure for the cast. My students loved creating everything about it - characters, sounds, sets, costumes....two moments stuck with us...
Everything ends....and so the adventure begins
and
It's supposed to hurt...that's how you know it meant something.

Hi Colleagues: Looking for a play for our high school students that carries some positive weight and/or concludes with an uplifting message of sorts. We produced "The Curious Savage" a few years back and our students still end our show runs with "take an umbrella ... it's raining." I've scoured the websites and play listings but would rather hear from the experts (YOU) on shows you felt left your students were genuinely moved by. Thanks for any/all thoughts; and Happy Thanksgiving!
Brett
