We are looking for a play to kick off our next season, for the August 2011 time slot. I'd love to hear suggestions for a large-cast, non-musical with children (ages 10 and up) and some name recognition. Maybe an adaptation of a classic novel? Thanks for your ideas! GracieLea |

Will the cast be made up of only children, or a mix of children and adults?

The first (and OBVIOUS) show that comes to my mind is CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN. Not a GREAT show, but it does meet your criteria. ------------- Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional. |

It will be a mixed company. Thanks, Lazy Bee for the suggestions. We did CHEAPER a few years ago, with great success, both at auditions and with attendance. T |
