How about Arsenic and Old Lace? Or, if you are willing to take a bit more risk..Auntie Mame (some mild adult language and situations...but very funny and fun) Good Luck |

How about an Agatha Christie mystery? The Mousetrap? Ten Little Indians? Both have fairly large casts and quirky characters. If you want to do domething more up to date with quirky characters, there are two plays by Larry Shue that will bring down the house: The Nerd & the Foreigner. One draw back with The Nerd is that it is really prop heavy. Linda |

Our audiences loved "The Nerd" -- small cast with real wacko characters, lots of physical humor and food props.

Be careful about Harvey -- amateur rights to it have been tied up for the last two years. I know several groups in addition to ours who weren't able to get rights because it's been optioned.

Radio TBS by Mark Landon Smith is a good one. It
has the quirky characters. I've seen it done with men playing the radio announcers Vesta and Dixie. I've not read An Evening of Culture by the same author but i've heard it's a good one too. |

"The Tavern" by George M. Cohan is a non-musical, suspense farce-melodrama that is one-set, many characters, with an outstanding lead role (written by Cohan for himself to play). It's a chestnut, but if done right, it's a crowd-pleaser. Another Kaufman & Hart play is "The Man Who Came to Dinner." One-set, dozens of characters. A recent favorite of mine is "I Hate Hamlet" by Paul Rudnick. One set, Six characters, (3 men, 3 women) all great roles. Some of the language can be toned down.
