i work for a girl scout camp directing their theatre program in the summer. we had such a seccessful summer this year that they decided to extend the program for next year. up to now we have done cabaret/ review type shows, but next summer i was hoping to do a full scale show.we have limited resources/ time and an all girl camp. does any one know a good show that has an all female cast thats child apropreate and can be done with limited resources? i thought of nunsence and ruthless, but neither would be apropriate for children.

What about doing a gender bender?  I mean, pick a musical you want to do and cast cross dressing girls in the boy's parts?  It works in Japan -- some of their most popular theatrical companies are all female professional companies that do all the standard musicals.  It's a thought.

i was thinking about "honk", but i dont know much about it. can it be done without guys? and thanks for tip about the search site. thats exactly the kind of thing i was looking for.

Originally posted by eveharrington you're welcome, I actually think the role gender bending sounds like much more fun for the girls and audience, but you have to be careful because if the script doesn't specify that a role can be either, it's the same as changing dialogue, a big nono.
