What is most in demand by theatre classes for elementary, middle grade, and high school students?  Is it 10 minute plays, one acts, or full length scripts?  Also, is the preference for comedies or dramas?

Ahh . . . I think the issue is the cast size of 25 - 35 students.  The only 15 -20 minute production I've done with a cast that large for elementary grades has been "Cake for the Queen."  Unfortunately, that script, which is published by YouthPLAYS, is not royalty free.  You can read an excerpt of that script here:

You might be able to find what you're looking for on Drama Notebook.  They advertise royalty-free scripts.  Here's the link:
