Hello all,

I'm looking for my spring show.  I'd like to do a drama, and like many schools have more women than men. I'd like a small to medium sized cast that favors the women.  What have you enjoyed doing that meets these criteria?

Radium Girls
Sense & Sensibility (Kate Hamill’s)

Both can be as small as you’d like with doubling.

Not a drama, but I definitely second Kate Hamill's Sense. I like These Shining Lives better than Radium Girls, but it has a smaller cast. Other faves are Silent Sky, The Good Fight, Decision Height, and Triangle.

I would recommend "A Piece of My Heart" by Shirley Lauro. Very powerful true drama , 6 women 1 male playing multiple characters. Unit set/flexible staging.

Great character work for the actors.
