This is for a unique theater group of folks dealing with substance abuse, homelessness issues, etc.

Ideally, a show with a lot of flexibility; a lot of smaller or modest sized parts rather than a few large parts. Something with a "message" but also with some humor.

Our theatre group did "The Whores" by Charles Crosby. It is a play based on discussions with prostitutes... very raw, gritty and realistic... has some humour in it as well. I'm not sure how it is published... we saw it at a fringe festival and wrote to him for the rights. I believe he may be in Toronto Ontario or Halifax Nova Scotia. http://ttdb.ca/shows/the-whores/
