My Class Needs A Play for the Fall Festival
my school is having a fall festival, and every class either has to sing a song, or do a play. we have 5 girls in my class so a song is out of the question, because the boys are just too good to sing with us. anyway, if anyone knows a good play we can do, can you please tell me were i can find a script or something for it? thanks alot!

Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
Try Urinetown.

Hmmm... Maybe you ould do Alice in Wonderland or Clue. Thats what my school has done in the past. Or maybe you could do Peter Pan. That doesn't have many female roles. Tell me what you end up doing for the play. Hosta la bye bye!

Get a book of one acts. One acts are short but they still have good plotlines... so you won't put the audience at the festival to sleep. You could even do a collection of one acts. 'Words, Words, Words' is a good one, as well as 'Impromptu' or 'here we are'. They are a bit cheesy, but that just makes it funnier for the audience.

Do something orginal with spark and creativity. The five of you can do this no sweat. Teachers are really not looking for students to take the easy route and grab the first song written by someone else or script. You would go over much better if the five of you actually thought to yourselves what's funny? What's controversial that needs addressed?, "What do we all have in common? etc etc. and write out some decent sketches or ideas and get your own 5-10 minute script or play out of it.
If they expect a long play, the more you come up with the more material you can use. Ie each do a monologue, some blackouts (one liners leading into fade outs) and put it all together. Going to a bookstore or library also to cheat with having to do so much writing of your own and using monologues from young actors books could work.
Be original though. Think quirky material that others have not come up with. Be sure to look if near you at Second City and sketch comedy and see what you yourselves can develop. You womn't be as good as Second City but find the inspiration within you to wow them.
