Hello,
I am looking for a play that consists only of actors ages 13-21. I would like it to be a full length drama. All I can think of is Dog Sees God any other ideas?

"Full length", "serious" and "youth company" is not a particularly common combination. (Most of the serious plays performed by that agegroup have the actors playing adults.)
At a pinch, http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/cgi-bin/Search_Results.asp?iSc=304 - Thorn by Kent Mick might fit the bill.

Is there a stage version of "Lord of the Flies"? If not - maybe there's a market for an adaptation.

There is indeed a stage version of Lord of the Flies. I directed the North American premiere years ago at The Haverford School, though admittedly I wish I could have done my own adaptation. Of course, the problem with that show is that it's all male, which isn't necessarily desirable to many youth theatre producers.
Cheers,
Jon
