I'm looking for a full-length play for 2-3 girls and 6-7 boys.  We don't have to do typical middle school play.  I've done a lot of mysteries, melodramas and comedies but trying to find a new one after 35 years is tough.  Thoughts?

It's hard to find new plays that will work for a particular group. There is an interesting futuristic play called The Giver by Lois Lowry in which a young man faces choice for the first time. Or, on a more serious (and traditional) side is there an adaptation of Twelve Angry Men that would work for your group? 12 Angry Jurors, I think it's called? Another play that might work for your group is Sniper by Bonnie Culver which examines the events leading up to the first school shooting. Also, Jake Revolver, Freelance Secret Agent by Matthew Konkle s a radio-noir murder mystery with doubling possible. 

Good luck. I hope you find a great show!

Cheers,

Jean

I have a list of all the plays I've done with my middle school drama students for the past 22 years...easier to just add a link to the "Production History" on our website.  You might find something new there.
