Anyone know of any good straight plays/musicals for an all girls school?

Posted: 6/28/04 at 8:06pm

Anyone? I'm drama club president this year, and I wanted to get a head start on what to do next year. Our school doesn't really get many guys. So if anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

There was an all female version of THE ODD COUPLE.

Or, if you guys wanted to do a fantatic character study piece you should check out COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME, JIMMY DEAN JIMMY DEAN.

I second the Women. You can make it a large or small cast, depending on how yuou divide the minor role.

Is this a high school or a college?

Here are some things that my all-girl college has done in recent years:

Plays:
  • The Learned Ladies
  • The Odd Couple (female version)
  • Medea
  • The Crucible [requires guys. not sure how they pulled it off]
  • My Mother Said I Never Should [amazing play! they did it before I was there. only 4 characters but all are REALLY strong, and you can always double-cast.]


Musicals:
  • Gypsy
  • Cinderella
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

Have you considered an all female version of "12 Angry Men" (you could use the term jurors) for a drama, or how about an all female version of Godspell (I went to an all girl prep school, and we had alot of fun with this one). Hope this helps.

O MY GOD....Floweryfriend...I'm sorry I just started laughing hysterically. My School did 2 years ago...I was in it. The All Female cast of The Crucible...we made it all female..simply because no guys would try out. It was HORRIBLE, but so funny to think about. I was Reverend Hale....

There is a great play called TALKIN' WITH. It is a series of monologues all about the various experiences of women. I can't recall the playwright(s).

THE WOMEN - yes, yes, yes.

For musical fare: NUNSENSE (or any of the million sequels), or THE TAFFETAS, or JERRY'S GIRLS, or BEEHIVE.

Me and my male friend were talking about it (one of the few males that actually do plays at my school) We were thinking about doing "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown" for the musical and...I don't know if this will piss anyone off, but turning Snoopy and Linus into female roles...because...well...we would have to. Then probably add a chorus, I don't know its up in the air right now.
