Does anyone have a suggestion for a full length non-musical comedy to do with high school students that has a lot of roles? Thanks!

Auntie Mame was just on TCM last night (see threads in off-topic board). It would be a terrific candidate.

You Can't Take it With You. Great ensemble comedy.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Try this site:

You can search by cast size, and those that are ideal for high schools.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [Abridged]

We did it with a cast of 22, and every person had plenty of stage time. Great Improv show.
