I'm putting together a showcase with 8 actors. We need a variety of scenes - 3,4 and 5 handers. It's 2 guys , 6 girls all 27+ except one girl who's 19. I have no problem finding good material for the 7 older actors but I am having trouble finding material for the younger actress that is within her playing range - and that has a role for the others. Anyone have any ideas?
Steel Magnolias?
no man's land. any of the series is ripe for dramatization.
Look at Neil LaBute's In A Dark Dark House - 2 guys, 1 girl, awesome play.
Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
Low Level Panic
Agnes of God
Effect of Gamma Rays....
Uncommon Women and Others
As You Like It
The Children's Hour
Another Neil LaBute play: The Shape of Things
That's all I can think of at the moment.
Little Foxes or Another Part of the Forest
If you're looking for comedy, how about Noises Off? The younger actress could play Brooke.
