Plays for High School Drama Club

[miritskeen]

So my high school has just revived its drama club, and while we have a super big theatre program, there is no one in drama club. To get more members and make the club more legit, we’re planning to do a no-profit staged reading of a play. Does anyone have any suggestions for a small cast (3 to 8 at most actors) play that isn’t too serious for a kind of silly drama club?

We were going to do Laramie Project, but decided it was too serious for starting out and too big a show. I’ve already suggested Effect of Gamma Rays. Any other suggestions?

You know you still have to pay rights and royalties, yes?  (You could TRY to get them waived, but I wouldn't count on it.)

 

Are you definitely looking for a full length?      Almost, Maine might be perfect....you could pick and choose which scenes to do (with permission - but I know they usually allow cutting).

Yeah, we’re looking into fundraising for that. And while Almost Maine is an awesome show, a senior has already claimed it for a senior projext (ugh)

Neil Simon's FOOLS

Epic Proportions - which is a long one act, but pretty funny.

I Hate Hamlet (but male heavy)

There is a pretty silly one act play called "Rapunzel Uncut" by Mariah Everman.
