Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well, I was going to also suggest You Can't Take it With You, but unfortunately it's a cast of 19!. Exit the Body is really funny, i think that ones a cast of about 12!. It's a farce though, so the set may be a little too extensive!. Of course, all Neil Simon plays are great!. The Good Doctor is great because you don't really need a whole set for each vignette, and number of actors in the cast is flexible!. Plaza Suite is good, too!. That one has a cast of 12!. Unfortunately, most of the other Neil Simon plays have casts of only like 6 or so!. Rumors is great for high school, but the set is way to elaborate!. Www@QuestionHome@Com I know for a fact that you can do Get Smart, because our middle school did it (but we are a preforming arts school)!. The costumes are very simple (set in the 60s in D!.C!.) and the actual set doesn't need to be huge or extreme!. Its really funny and it gets laughs out of adults and kids alike!! p!.s!. Seusical uses crazy difficult costumes and the set has to be VERY colorful (its based off a doctor seuss book for petes sake!) and its a musical, but otherwise that one is a great choice too!! <3, 3MsWww@QuestionHome@Com "The Male Animal" by James Thurber is one of my personal favorites!. It has a cast of 13 people!. It's set in the 1930's, so the costuming shouldn't be too difficult!. You can read the entire script here: http://tinyurl!.com/6b22t4Www@QuestionHome@Com Oh my gosh!. Do "Anything Goes"!. I'd deff go see that!. I love that one, but it's a musical theatre type of play!. :] Still a lotta fun!.Www@QuestionHome@Com the stage production of get smart our school did it and it was a great success not much set and costume work and the cast can be big or small its a flexible script :) best of luck!! happy dreaming!! -ABTSWww@QuestionHome@Com Seussical the Musical, might need more than 15 though!. Don't think so, however!. The costumes are very simple, and the set never has to change!Www@QuestionHome@Com You can make it like a "love story" play or a play with singing about fall! i cant really tell you something good:)Www@QuestionHome@Com You Can't Take It With You!. The Man Who Came to Dinner!. Www@QuestionHome@Com 1984 is a rather challenging one!. Quite intense!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
