Recommend Me Some Plays
Johnny C:
where is the love for arthur miller and tennessee williams you motherfucks
death of a salesman is too good for you
ThePQ4:
EQUUS
It is controversial-deliciousness.
(Nudity is optional for this play. I think you could do it well without it, and it has been done in high schools before, so...)
And you should read it even if you don't do it. It is pure awesome.
How big of a cast are trying to find a a play for? If very small, I would suggest Moon for the Misbegotten.
Are you looking for a drama, a comedy, a musical? I could give you lots of suggestions, but I'm not really sure what you're looking for.
Edit: Pffft, helps if I read your post! I'll go through my Theatre notes from last year and reccomend you a few.
SusurrusIgnoramus:
this isn't a comedy, so you won't be able to perform it, but i always reccomend translations by brian friel. it's an EXCELLENT read.
Lines:
Cheaper by the Dozen was a fun play. (NO, it's NOT like the crappy movie at all. It's actually good and fun and half the cast gets to pretend to be children.) Arsenic and Old Lace is probably one of my favorite plays ever and it's hilarious. Even if you don't do it, you should still read it.
ThePQ4:
It's a musical (which I'm not sure is what you're looking for), but I reccomend A New Brain by William Finn. It's kind of a crap-play to read through, I'm sure, but with the right cast it is six kinds of awesome. My university did it last semester and I totally fell in love with it.
Also: You Can't Take It With You by Kaufman and Heart
There is another one, but I can't recall the title... gah. I'll find it in my notes though, I swear.
