Topic: Ideas for a New Director Posted: 7/07/10 at 2:51pm |
Hello. I've been challenged by our Community Theater's president to come up with a play for next season (2011-2012). I've never directed a show by myself. I have quite a bit of experience both on and off stage though, as well as I am on the board of directors.
I do want to direct a play, however selecting an appropriate play that I will enjoy directing is becoming a challenge. I am seeking suggestions. Our theater is in a very conservative community and the rest of the board frowns upon harsh language and overly sexual connotations. I would like to do a comedy. Like most community theaters, finding quality men is always a problem, so the fewer the better. I would like to find something somewhat current but recognizable. Is there anything out there for me or am I being too restrictive? I would do just about anything, but that's not how the rest of them work. :( Thanks in advance for your suggestions. |

How about the female version of the Odd Couple? Light comedy, several female roles (2 male roles)

Try A Tiny Miracle with a Fiberoptic Unicorn.
"In the winter of 1986, thirteen-year-old Louis vows to kiss the love of his life, the quirky theater queen Carolyn, before Christmas. Standing in his way are the forces of puberty, his big-haired vitriolic older sister, his anal-retentive mother, and his eternally amused father. The surprise arrival of both grandmothers, each crazy in their own way, throws the family into turmoil and cracks Louis' world wide open."
