Here are some good plays I saw:
"Snow Angel": http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Snow_Angel_!.!.!.
It's an amazing play, it seems slow and boring at first but it is really good and has an interesting and funny plot!. However it may be better for high schoolers!.

"Romeo To Go": http://www!.jonathanrand!.com/play!.php3!?pl!.!.!.
A very funny play, great for middle school! When students at a middle school experience a budget cut, they must rehearse an entire 10-minute play within 20 minutes!. Funny, good, and fast-paced!.

You could do a disney story!.
How about Snow white and the Seven dawrfs!. You already have 10 characters!. The princess, prince, 7 dawrtfs and the evil queen!. Then you could use the rest of the class as backstage!.
Or even another well known fairy tale would be cool!. The kids can put thier own little spin on it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Outsiders!.

Its based on the novel by S!.E!. Hinton which is required reading in most middle schools, meaning you'd get oodles of teacher support!.

If you were looking for a musical then go with something like Westward Woah!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A Raisin in the Sun
Death of a Salesman

Branch out and try some Shakespeare!. They have modern day translations!. Twelfth Knight is hilarious!. My seventh grade students read A Midsummer Night's Dream last year and loved it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Charlie Brown, Sound of Music, Bridge to Teribitha, Treasure Island, Disney like Snow white and stuff, etc!.

hope that helped!
