I saw "o Off" back about 20 years ago -- it was one of the funniest things I ever saw in my life.  But then I saw a revival on Broadway with a very professional cast, but somehow none of the humor came through -- the timing was off by maybe half a second and everything fell flat.  It was one of the worst things I ever saw.  I'd be very careful with a show like that where timing is everything.

My senior year, we did a show called Play On! It sort of had a Noises Off vibe, but instead of a professional troupe, it's about a community theatre putting on a locally written play, and the author keeps barging into make changes. It's 3 acts, about 2 hours, 10 characters (3M, 4W, 3 either or), and from what I remember it's hilarious.

Twelve Angry Men/Jurors is gender flexible and also easy to do both from a technical standpoint and in terms of high school kids.
