Topic: Adult Shows with a couple roles for kids
Posted: 3/27/09 at 1:58pm

I am looking for some good comedies/dramas that are primarily adult shows but have a couple of roles for kids/teenagers. As an example, here are the show we've already done recently like this: Cheaper By The Dozen, Lost In Yonkers, Little Women, Over the Tavern, and Life With Father.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Check out A Tiny Miracle with a Fiberoptic Unicorn. Kind of in the same vein as Brighton Beach Memoirs and Over the Tavern.. You should, of course, also check out Brighton Beach Memoirs, which is a terrific play.

Go here and click read sample to read the play:

3 teenagers, 5 adults.

Here's a show with lots of adults and kids - Silas Marner. It's on Lazy Bee Scripts out of England and you can go there for free online perusal. Steve Martin did a movie based on the same novel. He called it "A Twist of Fate," I think. I have a feeling it might have too many characters for your needs, but here it is -
