In a blackbox, most Sondheim would work (Sweeney, SITPWG).

It would be interesting to see an R&H show in a blackbox setting.

Bat Boy: The Musical is great in a black box theatre.

Am I cut out to spend my time this way?

Sondheim's "Company" can be done with very few actors. Or "Saturday Night"?

I suppose a good choice might be as well Cy Coleman's "The Life", if you have actors who can carry that.
