Hey guys! I'm a producer who sometimes work with teenagers. I would love to hear some suggestions for optional play productions.

I'm looking for something Dramatic (realistic) about high school, something with not a lot of sets, something like "The Breakfast Club" (all of the scenes takes place at the school-library. I'm looking for something quite smart with great lines, not something chesse or whatever (like High School Musical), most of the students are high school juniors, so this isn't have to be G/PG rated.
I would love to hear for your ideas, and I would be glad if the play you suggest was already produced professionally before.
Thanks!

"When the Cookie Crumbles, You Can Still Pick Up the Pieces" is a revue about kids dealing with divorce. The compilation score includes, among others, songs from the team that wrote Ragtime and Once On This Island.

"Runaways," the Elizabeth Swados musical

"1984" and "Animal Farm," both plays based on the Orwell novels.

Good luck with your search.

Maybe "Bare"? It might be to risque for what you are looking for, but it is definitely a great show with a powerful message. It deals with many things that lots of teens struggle with everyday.
