Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: adult play with children

Message

   I'm looking for a great show with kids as supporting actors.  We've done ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, LITTLE WOMEN, ANNIE, WIZARD OF OZ, SECRET GARDEN and what we have discovered is that this sort of show rocks out houses.  The best part is that we bring in SO many new folks into our doors when children are involved.  So help please, what show has worked well for you in this arena?  Thanks!

	Sorry, I did not re read this post after I saw it the first time, thus the edit. Anne and Gilbert is a new show that was performed yearly on PEI for five or six years. It is based on the second (Anne of Avonlea) and third (Anne of the Island) Anne of Green Gables books. The music is fun, there are solos, duets, trios quartets and a number of chorus songs. There are two main adult characters (Mrs. Lynde and Marilla) and a number of young adults. The major roles in this age group can be played by performers from 13-14 through late 20's, both male and female, depending on the over all cast. In addition there are a couple of good parts for younger kids. The rights are held by Samuel French. John Edited by jtonner - 5/29/12 at 1:15pm
