   Topic: Competition play for strong malesPosted: 3/25/14 at 5:24pm |

I am looking for a play (one act or full length) that would be good for competition that could showcase my strong male actors. They do well with comedy and drama so I am open to anything. I have a few good females to fill in the gaps. Any suggestions?

How large a cast are you looking for (and how many males)?
Cheers, Jon |

We usually have a cast of 20-25 with 6 or 7 really strong males.

Not sure how I didn't see your reply, but I'm assuming you're probably looking for next year. From my own work, you might check out The Locker Next 2 Mine's one-act version for something with some bite (you do need some strong women too), or Dear Chuck, which is very flexible in terms of the casting:
http://www.playscripts.com/play/2567 (Locker) http://youthplays.com/play_details.php?play_id=279 (Dear Chuck) Too other great choices could be 4 A.M. and After Math, both of which are flexible in their casting. 4 A.M. in particular has been very successful in competition: http://www.playscripts.com/play.php3?playid=1793 (4 A.M.) http://www.playscripts.com/play.php3?playid=652 (After Math) Another play from the YouthPLAYS collection that might work and is a little different could be Uncertainty Theory (though it would need some cuts possibly): http://youthplays.com/play_details.php?play_id=177 Anyway, hope this helps and isn't too late to be useless. Cheers, Jon |
