I recommend Love of a Pig by Leslie Caveny.  It has a required cast of 4 male/4 female but is expandable.  The lead is a female and must be the Carol Burnett of your department or similar.  Caveny wrote for "Everybody Loves Raymond."  Very witty and fast-paced!

I would also recommend "Squirrel Lake".  It's howlingly funny, but not well known:

You could also produce Forever Plaid or Plaid Tidings.  You need four good singers and great pianist.  It's a fairly simple set.
