For our middle school show next fall, I've decided to go with two one-act plays, or possibly even a one-act and a couple of 10 minute plays.  

I've already settled on Yellow Wallpaper by Kathryn Funkhouser (Stage Partners), which will be a challenging but still appropriate, and has an active ensemble.  

I'm in search of another show, or a few shorts, that would fit with the "chilling psychological" theme ... but I'm really hoping to find one that is not centered around murder.  And it has to be suitable for middle school (both in terms of topic, and in terms of their acting range).  Not a comedy (we have that covered with SpongeBob for the musical).  Ideally with many gender flexible roles and/or an active ensemble.  

I found a few older posts on this topic, with lots of Poe and Sleepy Hollow options, and will be looking into those.  Aunt Leaf is still on my wish list, but I think perhaps too big a challenge.  

All suggestions happily considered!

With thanks,
