OK.....so I want to offer my drama students  a table read (a week?  every other week?) as something we can do together as well as provide enrichment.   (We'd "read" it via a zoom meeting.)

So, here's what I need help with: getting a list of possible plays to do with them given the following parameters:

-8 or more characters (m/f breakdown won't matter for a reading)

-reasonably appropriate for HS kids (We're pretty liberal - we can push  the envelope a little, but have to be aware that families might be listening in)  

-INTERESTING to teens (but that doesn't mean it has to be about teens)

- has to be available on line in a pdf (or the like) so we can all read it.   (I'm not worried about rights and royalties as we are not performing in any way for an audience)

I'm considering Arsenic and Old Lace for our first one, but that's easily 2 hours - maybe a little long for our first one.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

Thanks, but didn't want to do a musical.
