   I also am familiar with Ballyhoo (I played Aunt Reba).  Set in 1932 Atlanta - the story is about a Jewish (in name only) family and learning from a real Jew about antisemitism.  It may not really go over well in a non or anti Jewish community. We performed in it Ann Arbor, MI - heavily Jewish and somewhat eclectic.  
Some good Comm Theatre shows are
Steel Magnolias
Girls of the Garden Club (a real good one - lots of women - single set)
Play it again Sam
Noises off - if you have the technical ability to do a two story set with 8 working doors and windows..... that rotates! 2nd act requires a director who can function like a choreographer - but ROTF laughter

Please let us know what you decide.

	Three plays that have worked well for our group in the past are: When Did You Last See Your Trousers? (British farce) Squabbles On Golden Pond We are currently having a great time putting together a production of "Moon Over Buffalo". Good Luck!
