Alright, so here's my situation. I am a Senior in High School and every year was have a "Class Play Competition". The criteria are as follows:

30 Minutes
As much set you can prepare in 5 minutes
Not too... dirty? "Grown-up Humor?" (If you've seen/read 'Removing the Glove' that's about as risky as we can go.)

I’ve been looking at such plays as “Death Comes to us all, Marie Agnes” and “Desire, Desire, Desire” but I hit one fundamental problem. We have a maximum of four male roles to work with. My grade is not the most involved in drama, and we have an under-abundance of males to play the roles, but an overabundance of females to go around. So, that said, an ideal cast size would be 3 Male, 7 Female. I want to try to get ten or more roles to fill, but that is mostly optional. Please try to keep the times under 30 minutes, because we lose points for going over, and I don’t want to lose because of that!

Thanks everyone who helps me out. I was looking through all the other posts that had to do with this, and had a few ideas, but nothing that really falls into place with what I need.

Oh, and last year, we did “Any Body for Tea?” That was pretty perfect in size and timing.

Thanks again!!!

If you don't go to New Trier: The Sex Lives of Super Heroes... if you do go to New Trier: Back off, ABU had it first!
