Judevine by David Budbill is a lovely piece although some of the language/subject matter is tricky - it's a series of stories set in a small town and has some wonderful pieces within it
The Dining Room (AR Gurney) of course
Colored Museum (george c wolfe) is always a possibility
The Serpent if you are looking for a crazy challenge
All in the Timing (Ives) and Check Please (Rand) for silliness
You could tackle Moliere's shorter works (Project Guttenberg) or do The Bores which is literally just a series of scenes with one character encountering a different one(s) each scene.
Almost Maine of course is lovely
Thurber's Carnival I haven't read in years.....
and I know there are a lot of vignette plays out there or collections of short works (ie John Guare has a series of one-acts that are weird but fabulous) it just takes time looking through the publishing companies websites ;)
Best wishes!

Subject: Curriculum Support Vignette Show
Hello!
I am looking for a play to perform with my high school theatre classes as a culminating project. I'd like to do a show made up of several vignettes. Something that supports our school's curriculum would be best. In the past we have done, among others, Lindsey Price's Shuddersome Tales of Poe, as well as adaptations of Spoon River Anthology, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and A Christmas Carol. We would like to avoid Shakespeare, since we already do one Shakespeare show every year with our after school program. A collection of short but related plays or a play made up of vignettes would be best. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
