Question: Good play for High School!?
Well I am 14 and trying to get a drama club started at my high school!. I have already directed 4 plays and getting ready to direct my 5th!. One of the ladies in my school's administrations office would help me if we were to get one started!.
I am going to talk to her sometime this week!. I would like to know what's a good play!. I don't want to do a musical at first just because I'd like to start out easy!. So if you have any suggestions that would be great!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Some very good and very fun plays I've seen for high school that are not musicals:

-- Alice in Wonderland
-- Once Upon a Mattress
-- A Midsummer Night's Dream
-- Romeo and Juliet
-- Much Ado About Nothing (see the movie for inspiration!)
-- Our Town, of course,
-- OR you could take some extra time and adapt your favorite book into a script!.

Good luck with your play this year! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say!.!.!.!.Get Smart, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, All My Sons, Bang Bang Your Dead, Scapine, A Servant to Two Masters, All in the Timing!.!.!.!.!.!.we've done those and they were great!. They should be easy enough for a budding drama department!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
