Hi Friends,

I am just so stuck with my Advanced group, that are all new this year and they are young!  But, I still want to challenge them this year.  I have 10 girls and 7 boys and am looking for possibly a one act or a full play.  Last year we did Elephant's Graveyard and Twelfth Night...this group is totally different, but looking for suggestions that could be for comedy and/or drama that would get students interested.  Other shows we have done in the past:

Radium Girls, Midsummer Nights' Dream, Peter and the Starcatcher, Our Town, Comedy of Errors, The Crucible...you get the idea.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!  

If you're just looking for a play that will fit your cast needs, "Almost, Maine," is a popular choice among schools.  It's a series of interconnected romantic vignettes.  Here's the link for it on Dramatists Play Service  https://www.dramatists.com/cgi-bin/db/single.asp?key=3759

I love Almost, Maine. I've directed it twice in my career, and I will likely direct it a third time before I'm done :)

I would love to do Almost Maine!  However, this is a group that needs to build some ensemble together and I am looking for something where it is more ensemble focused.  Could be a one act or full length play.

We really enjoyed working on Still Life with Iris, and Kate Hamill's Sense and Sensibility (I undoubled to get a cast of 22). I know some people on this forum have undoubled The 39 Steps, so I don't know if something like that would work for you? You could also teach a unit on commedia and then do one of Hilary DiPiano's commedia adaptations like The Green Bird or Love of Three Oranges
