What cast size are you looking for and what's the expected gender breakdown? Are you looking for an ensemble play, or do you have an actor or two that you'd like to feature?

Depending on what you're looking for...

And by Alan Haehnel

Face Forward: Growing up in Nazi Germany by Bredon Votipka

(Sorry... Can't think of any more right now... maybe after the coffee kicks in)

Second Samuel at Dramatic Publishing. It's for 7m 4w, but the playwright is open to switching genders (she happens to live in the same town where I teach). We did ours with 5m 6w, plus a few extras. Very funny and very moving with a very timely message. It's full length but I've seen a 55 minute version.

Antigone Now - 2w 1m, plus a chorus  from 1-8 people. A modern version of Antigone. 

Mr. Flannery's Ocean.5w 3m. A charming one act about a crusty old man who thinks he owns the ocean off the coast of England. 

I'll have more suggestions once I get back to work and can look through my bookshelf.

I Never Saw Another Butterfly.  Very powerful, has some featured actors with a strong ensemble.  My students loved doing and have been begging to do it again.

SO MANY great titles, and some of these lead to more once I got going... thank you!  I have a nice collection started.  If any more come to you, please feel free to add.
