If you live in a "conservative" community, although it is a GREAT show, "la mancha" has rape scenes, and might noot go over well. Neil Simon sells wherever the production is performed.

I'm with those who suggested "I Love you, You're Perfect, Now Change." Very easy to stage and a showcase for good local talent.
My personal favorite in your situation would be "The Fantasticks." One simple set, simple props, limited cast, and the music is lovely, it's quite romantic, and also includes enough chestnuts for the audience to sing along.
Note: It does include a famous "Rape Ballet," but it's all very innocent, and is meant to conjure up those ancient "damsel in distress" scenarios more than anything actually offensive.
It also offers a surprising amount of creative leeway as far as sets, costumes, even casting. Good luck!

I believe that it is now available with a different song in that spot. Here's one article about the change:
