We are currently in production of 'Decision Height' by Meredith Dayna Levy. It is absolutely awesome and my girls are LOVING it! I am at an all-girls school and am always looking for strong female parts, etc. This is the best experience with a play I have ever had. The play is wonderfully written and so moving, not to mention it educates the cast, crew and the audience about a little known group of women in history. Not sure if you can round up one more girl, as it has nine great roles, a couple that are smaller than the others, but very ensemble based. You have the option of adding ensemble as well. Just can't say enough about it. Good Luck!

Subject: Female Plays
Looking for suggestions. Our high school has a drama competition in late December and I have 8 females who just auditioned. I don't want to cut anyone if I don't have to, but if need be I can cut to 5. I'm looking for a play that will fit my girls. It has to be a play, no Musicals. Six of the eight girls have a lot of stage experience. Three are very strong. I was looking at The Odd Couple (female version) but not feeling really strong with it. Can be any genre. They are stronger with an emotional drama than with comedy but can wok with any strong selection. Any advice is welcome.
