Hey!
So I've been looking for a play and haven't really fallen in love with any. We know we want to do a very funny play or farce. We don't have the budget for Noises Off and we would prefer doing a show that isn't done quite as often. I absolutely LOVE The 39 Steps and Boeing Boeing but the rights are restricted for both. So that basically is the type of show I'm looking for. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Squabbles!
It's like a live-action sitcom.

You should look up DELAYED...It's written by a newer composition team out of NYC and it has some really great hilarious songs. I saw their reading down in Florida and the audience loved it....I just pulled their website, it www.PechacekHammond.com. Because they are new, they are probably cheap and willing to let you do their show???

It's a bit off from what you're looking for, but it is an over the top farce you can do a lot with. Look up The Love of Three Oranges adapted by Hillary DePiano.
