If you have a cabaret-style space, I would suggest something like Forever Plaid - no set necessary - just props. The show seems to be a big hit wherever it plays.

Since the production goes up in Feb, we are hoping to find something with a love story or at the very least something that I can rationalize as a love story (rationalization being what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom). It doesn't necessarily have to be a comedy, but I am not looking drama either. That being said, I consider shows like Five Women Wearing the Same Dress and Belles to be comedies. (See how well I rationalize?) I am not looking for musicals at this time as the space is confined and musicals require much more rehearsal time.

"The Fantasticks" by Schmidt & Jones is a very
romantic, no-set, small cast show. Yes, it's a
musical, but I like to think of it as the "Anti-Musical"
Muscial. No splashy sets, costumes, or intricate
dance numbers to encumber you.

"The Romantics" by Edmond Rostand is the
non-musical version on which "The Fantasticks" is
based. It is a few hundred years old, but there's no
reason why it couldn't be done in contemporary
dress.
