I've decided to do two new plays, one drama and one comedy, that I found on New Play Exchange. Have been in touch with both playwrights and they are eager to be remotely involved with our process. I think this will be a fun and rewarding experience for my students - getting to have some interaction with the playwrights and work on pieces they can have an impact on. Royalties won't be paid until we're back in school but here are the planned titles:

Fall Drama: 'Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm?' by Katharine Vondy
Spring Comedy: 'Save Hamlet!' by Mark Harvey Levine

Fall Play:  Maskerade by Stephen Briggs--based on the book by Terry Pratchett
If you've read any of Terry Pratchett's books, you're probably a fan.  I've also done his Wyrd Sisters.  One of the benefits of this play is there are 26 characters. I will double cast some of them, but I will be able to have at least 20 actors involved in the show.  Good roles for women and men. Loosely based on Phantom of the Opera.

Currently, thinking about a one act cutting or adaptation of The Turn of the Screw based on the novel by Henry James and The Importance of Being Earnest in the fall.  Not sure about the spring as of yet-- Perhaps a week of student written or director written works in rep and we always try to finish the year with a spring musical, but I am no where near ready to make that decision.  

Great topic.  It is very helpful to see other ideas and to hear about other programs!

We are doing Something Rotten in the spring, and, so the kids know what rotten is spoofing, we are doing Much Ado about Nothing in the fall.

I cant wait to hear all the other responses.  I am taking notes!

On the college level, this coming year I will be directing Best of Enemies. It is based on the bestselling book by Osha Gray Davidson, BEST OF ENEMIES is a true story about the relationship between C.P. Ellis, a Grand Cyclops of the KKK, and Ann Atwater, an African-American civil rights activist, during the desegregation of the Durham, North Carolina, schools in 1971. BEST OF ENEMIES exposes the poison of prejudice in the hearts of Atwater and Ellis who, by facing each other, are forced to face the worst, and best, in themselves. I am doing this show as a guest director for the University of Oregon in Eugene, OR.

In the spring we're workshopping an adaptation of Hattie Big Sky that I'm writing. In January we might be piloting a new musical. If not, I'm leaning toward Puffs, She Kills Monsters or The Search for Delicious.

Fall musical- Middle school production of Newsies Jr
Winter play- Radium Girls
Spring musical- Mamma Mia (Did not get approval for Chicago Teen). Disclaimer: I think I am the only one in the world who doesn't enjoy Mamma Mia, so I will have to get around that. My choreographer is excited though, and she is excellent, so will rely heavily :) Also, kids are super excited and I am charged with building a program, so I think this one will bring them in.

You are not alone—both my vocal director and myself can’t stand Mama Mia. Just can’t get over the book. Our kids are always begging to to it.

Fall musical- Middle school production of Newsies Jr
Winter play- Radium Girls
Spring musical- Mamma Mia (Did not get approval for Chicago Teen). Disclaimer: I think I am the only one in the world who doesn't enjoy Mamma Mia, so I will have to get around that. My choreographer is excited though, and she is excellent, so will rely heavily :) Also, kids are super excited and I am charged with building a program, so I think this one will bring them in.

I'm doing a big Halloween show! "The Witch Makes Five," "40 Whacks," and several creepy monologues. We might try a few classroom readings of "Dracula and the Track Team" but not sure if there will be time.

Fall play is "Just another High School Play" and I'm still trying to decide the Musical. It's my first year as full director (I'm a little nervous.)

I was thinking Godspell 2012 for the spring musical because it's small but can have as many in the ensemble as I want and I could pick and choose strong singers and strong actors and just use everyone where they shine. 

I do however have two really reliable strong females, so I was also concidering Hello, Dolly! 

We've had a really strong program, but this past couple of years have been hard. 

I'd love thoughts and advice!
