We are looking for some strong titles to do with college students, mainly contemporary. For instance, we are considering Sarah DeLappe's THE WOLVES or Paul Downs Colaizzo's REALLY REALLY.

What do you mean by "strong"?  (I'm unfamiliar with either of the titles you mentioned.)  Also: do you want the CHARACTERS to be college aged, or just because your ACTORS are college aged?

Significant Other was the first that came to mind
The Laramie Project by Moises Kaufman
Dog Sees God gets done a lot
Proof by David Auburn
Stop Kiss by Diana Son
Circle Mirror Transformation by Annie Baker
The Heidi Chronicles by Wendy Wasserstein
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Simon Stephens

I'd recommend STUPID KIDS by John C. Russell as well as THIS IS OUR YOUTH.

Are you:  at a state-funded college in a Red State?

              at a religiously-based college?

Take a look at:   "All My Distances Are Far."  It was performed in Los Angeles last year professionally. Perfect for college age actors.
