  • 1.  small cast play

    Posted 12-11-2019 11:37
    Hi Everyone,
    I have an ensemble class doing a play in February.  The problem is the cast size -- 4 men, 1 woman.  I have exhausted the websites I know and the library I own.  Can't find anything for that particular cast size.  Can anyone help?  Full length, black box type production.
    Thanks!
    Kathy

    Hey there!  Maybe the White Liars by Peter Shaffer could work for you?

    Best,

    Similar question but cast size is 3-5 boys and 2-3 girls so anywhere from 6-8 actors full length comedy for high school.

    This was our competition piece from last year.  It has 6 gender neutral roles and was a group favorite.  If it's a class project, the instructor could play the role of the doctor (in a pinch)
