I have helped and co-directed plays and musicals for the last couple years and am now the head director for our school's fall play and spring musical. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a funny play that would be appropriate for a highschool cast. We are a private/Catholic school also, so that somewhat limits what we can do, due to the content of so many high profile shows.
Thanks!

We tried a great little comedy by Bradley Walton called Convention: Two Days of Comic Books Gone Bad. If you're cast is into the Comicon scene ( and how many teenagers aren't?) they will have a lot of fun with this one and the audience gets a real kick out of the characters.
A few suggestions:

OWP isn't exactly known for High School material, but more and more have been picking us up. Probably because we are dedicated to bold and original works, the students like our material. But it is on the edgy side.
I assume "high profile" means plays from Broadway. New York doesn't care about you -- why should you care about New York?
Who publishes Ten Pat Midnight?
I am not finding "Ten Past Midnight." Please help.
