Topic: Comedies I got, how's about a Drama! Posted: 10/05/07 at 6:16pm |
Howdy everyone,
Comedies galore, too many to choose from. How's about a really good drama? Drama's are harder to sell, but we really need to round out the season. We've done MOCKINGBIRD and MIRACLE WORKER and MICE AND MEN. All very well received. Ideas like that? Something with good name recognition...something classy? Hey, I appreciate your responses. |

To be nice about it, The Runner Stumbles is not my favorite show. I don't understand how it gets done as much as it does. |

I just read a play called "Ladies in Retirement". We are planning to do this for our fall play next year. Really worth reading.
"Rememberance" is another really good one. I saw that several years ago and I loved it. Great Story.

Hey now! Sister Rita is one of the best things on my resume. But in the interest of understanding, I think its the fact that the set is very minimalistic and can be done with basically nothing but lights and a black stage. |

oooh, what about "The Boys Next Door", definitely funny, but very dramatic as well.

I agree with anything Tennesee Williams. Also Neil Simon's Lost In Yonkers and Broadway Bound. Lost in Yonkers is more dramatic, but both have a comic element without overtaking the Drama.

Also look at plays written by Horton Foote. Lots of characters with lots of emotions that most people can relate to. Alice
