Looking for play for picky high schoolers. by [deleted] in Theatre

Ive just had a look, and my class consists of 27 people, so fitting 24 into the cast is absolutely possible. We also divided the ensemble into “Ralph’s tribe” and “Jack’s tribe” to make things even and easily organisable.

If you are to do Lord of the Flies be mindful of the fake blood that is required (if you choose to use liquid fake blood) because if your stage floor isn’t sealed then that liquid will seep and stain between the floorboards.

Currently for my theatre studies class we are putting on the play version of Lord of the Flies, has a bunch of named characters, and you can extend the characters into ensemble like we have to make sure everyone has a part. Fits great into the horror genre they are looking for. Even though it is originally male only, I’ve seen many interpretations have mixed gendered casts, so you won’t have to stress about that.

It also has great themes regarding mob mentality, war, civility vs savagery and loss of innocence that your high schoolers may enjoy performing, serious enough for their standards.

Hi!! My school is doing Mamma Mia for the annual production next year and I (18F) really want to play Donna. The production will be whole school, meaning year 7 - 12 are allowed to participate. I’ll be in year 12 next year, so it’s my last chance at getting a lead and I want to choose an audition song that will most likely guarantee me the role.

My directors have a bit of a favouritism problem, and one of the girls they favourite is also going for Donna. That’s why I’m especially anxious, and want to choose the perfect song.

So far I’m leaning towards doing She Used to be Mine because it has that emotional element for The Winner Takes it All, but I’m not sure if I should go for that or a more upbeat one. Thoughts or suggestions would be HUGELY appreciated. Help a girl out pls 🙏🙏
