I have to agree that "Here on the Flight Path" by Norm Foster is great! If you need a larger cast his 'Office Hours" is very funny.

Give the 'Farndale Avenue Townswomens Guild Dramatic Society a go, there is about 7 in the stable, with total sendups of everything from the Mikado to the Scotish Play & in between.
 
 
 
If you have plenty of blokes;- [9 males]
Give 'Fur coat & no knickers' a try or 'Last Tango in Whitby'
These are all Pohmy plays but if you don't worry about accents - they are great!

Sorry if its been mentioned already, but I didn't go through the entire post.... But if you are looking for a great little comedy that dosen't make them think too hard, flows right along and is nothing but good clean fun, kinda like watching an old Bob Newhart show... try "You Can't Get There From Here" by Pat Cook... We will close this afternoon, and the audinces and the cast have truley loved it!

I was recently in a fun murder-mystery comedy called "Murder Can Be Habit-Forming". Yes, there is one murder, but the rest of the show is very clean, and even respectful to the Catholic nuns, including the hilarious comic relief senior citizen nun who obviously has a little bit of dementia. The plot involves a busload of folks getting stranded at a convent in a snow storm. One of them is the "Mary Murderer," who has been killing off women named Mary. Of course, there are several women on the bus named Mary, and ALL of nuns are "Sister Mary" something! It's a clever and funny show. I certainly enjoyed it, and would recommend it. You may wish to note that you will need a suit of armor, though. We used a fiber-glass rental and it was perfect.

My Tavern script is available and for all ages (and royalty free), stage tested and audience approved (already had it's debut peformance), 10m/5f, no set changes, just an acoustic guitar needed to perform all the music except one song which the music is pre-recorded, almost everyone sings, costumes are easy and the set is what you can make of it or do what our high school volunteers did. 2-1/2 hours long.

 A really cute one is "Happily Ever, Once Upon".  It's Cinderella and Prince Charming 10 years later =D. "Love, Sex, and the IRS" is a great play and was really successful for us.  There is also "Moose Murders" which is pretty funny.

And then there is always the melodrama.  Those are always a good time, and the audience gets to participate!
 
Well thats my two cents.

I have a funny comedy with four people, called Sunday Dinner, that's had great success at our community theatre in Los Angeles.  If you'd like to look at a copy, I can email you one.

"Divorce Sale" is a comedy suitable for community theatres. Currently, it is in production at Perry Stagecoach Theatre in Perry, Oklahoma, and Freeport Players, Freeport, Bahamas. It had its world premiere off-Broadway, and then in Queensland, Australia, and Guadacanal, Solomon Islands. A fun play, it is about a group of neighbors that are holding a yard sale for one who is going through a divorce and also holding a séance to contact the deceased husband of one’s ditsy mother-in-law. It is available online at: www:singlelane.com/proplay/divorcesale.html

If any problem pulling up copy, contact playwright at: lindastockham@yahoo.com
