Posted: 11/18/04 at 5:50pmComedy: Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 - 6 guys, 4 girls, 1 extra, 1 radio voice. Fabulous script. Great roles.

Posted: 11/18/04 at 6:31pmYou should do "Sight Unseen" by Rosemary Foster (NOT the Donald Marguilese - spelled wrong, Im sure) It's a very funny parlor comedy with ... I think.. twelve-ish people. We did it last year and it was a riot.
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

I looked up Musical Comedy Murders of 1940. I would LOVE to do that! I just don't know if it's too similar in style to what we just did, "The Man who Came to Dinner"... prolly should've mentioned that. Plus, this show seems to have a big set and stuff.
any more ideas would be fabulous!

Posted: 11/18/04 at 6:56pmWe did "And They Dance Real Slow in Jackson" and it was one of the most amazing experiances I had in a show. It is serious but has some funny moments throughout. Overall its a great show. We did it with about 10 people.

Musical...1940 (sorry, i'm lazy) was at the Texas ITS Convention 2, maybe 3 years ago, and I never quit laughing. It's a great show. I liked the secret passages and stuff.
The scene on the desk with maid and the one guy (don't remember the name) where the boxers come off is absolutely the most funny (grammar freak) part in the ENTIRE play. :)
Our Town's a drag to do. Sorry.

Posted: 11/18/04 at 9:48pmI second for The Laramie Project. My school did it last year and it was actually pretty good and there was a minimal set which worked quite well.
