Yes, I'm still looking for a play! I would like a comedy for a larger amount of high school students. I've looked at Harvey, The man who came to dinner, you can't take it with you.....Now I'm looking at Fair Exchange by Kurtz Gordon, Is there a comic in the house? by st. john, and my sone is crazy but promising by tim kelly. Any advice out there?
