A friend and I have been given the opportunity to direct a play at a local middle school. It's going to be a lot of fun, but we haven't been able to find something that works yet.

Does the GTC have anything that might work I could look at?

-We're looking for something that runs from around an hour to an hour and a half.

-We'd like our cast to be sized from about eight to fifteen.

-A free domain play would be nice, but certainly not necessary.

-I've been looking at mystery plays, but other genres are fine.

And, of course, it's a middle school play. So nothing too mature, romantic, or complicated. >.<

I would worship suggestions, or websites where I could find some ideas. Thanks so much, everyone! heart

First congrats on getting to co-direct a show!

Have you talked to your drama teacher about any ideas?

Samuel French might be a good site to check out.

I found this site maybe you'll find something.

If I think of anything else paticular I'll post it!

Good Luck, hope you find/or have found something.

Yah, congratulations! Just remember to voice your opinions every so often...remember, you're still a co-director. And that means you've gotta share your thoughts on the directors decisions too.

@ Hollywood: I've been checking out Arsenic And Old Lace for quite some time now, and it looks like fun. whee heart

That looks to be quite the useful site, though. I'll bookmark it~

@Halycon: Thank you! My co-directing friend says she plans to "allow" me to do most of the work here. xD

Good choice if you go with Arsenic and Old Lace. What did you decide on?

Arsenic and Old Lace for Middle Schoolers?


I say try "The Trial of Goldilocks." It's funny, there's a somewhat mystery, and it'll be a lot of fun for a kid no matter what role they get.

The Trial Of Goldilocks sounds really cool.

Only I believe the school did something called Fairytale Courtroom last year, which sounds fairly similar. >.<

And of course, were we to try Arsenic, we'd have to do a whole lot of cuts.

Still, it's pretty much the most likely thing I've seen so far.
