Oh, Visiting Mr. Green! We did that a few years ago, and it was wonderful! Definitely look at that one...

"The Young Man from Atlanta" by Horton Foote - Pulitzer Prize winner; excellent roles for "mature" actors
"After-Play" by Anne Meara - again, excellent roles for "mature" actors; a little on the existential side
"Proof" by David Auburn - Another Pulitzer winner
"Grace & Glorie" by Tom Ziegler - Along the lines of "Visiting Mr. Green", but with two women
"How I Learned to Drive" by Paula Vogel - Tough subject matter is handled frankly and with moments of strong humor; another Pulitzer winner

A recent favorite of mine was The Dining Room by A.R. Gurney.
A wonderful script and if you choose to do it with 6 actors portraying the 57 characters it is absolutely something they can sink their teeth into.
A true gem of a show with a mix of heartwarming, funny, quirky, thought provoking and touching moments.
Set can be very simple and you can use base costumes and add elements to suggest new characters/time periods.
It was a crowd pleaser to our sold out audiences.
Have fun choosing from all these fine suggestions!
