We are looking for some strong titles to do with college students, mainly contemporary. For instance, we are considering Sarah DeLappe's THE WOLVES or Paul Downs Colaizzo's REALLY REALLY.

What do you mean by "strong"?  (I'm unfamiliar with either of the titles you mentioned.)  Also: do you want the CHARACTERS to be college aged, or just because your ACTORS are college aged?

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I'd recommend STUPID KIDS by John C. Russell as well as THIS IS OUR YOUTH.

Are you:  at a state-funded college in a Red State?

              at a religiously-based college?

Take a look at:   "All My Distances Are Far."  It was performed in Los Angeles last year professionally. Perfect for college age actors.
