Plays we might do
To find plays with the right number of characters, go to The Play Finder at Dramatist's Play Service and enter Full Length play, (comedy or drama), 4-6 women and 4-6 men. Or you can also search Samuel French, which has a huge advanced search with even more precise number of men/women.
Here are some plays that have about the right number of characters. Feel free to add others, in comments on this post. Or email me or the others!
