  • 1.  Looking for a full-length play similar to Puffs

    Posted 11-14-2023 11:28

    Hello,

    A few years back, our school did Puffs (takes place in the Harry Potter universe, but not specifically about Harry Potter). The kids, directing staff, and audience absoltuely LOVED it- and if you're looking for a show- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It's too soon for us to do it again, but the thing I really loved about it was that it was a very popular setting and idea that people knew about, but it was a new "twist" on that popular idea. I'm looking for that feeling again in a full-length comedy play. Bonus if it has a one-unit set and larger (10+) cast size. Any one have any suggestions? 

    Thanks in advance!

    This IS a great list. Several of those titles are already on my list for future consideration.
