Drama Club suggestions please

Lindsey B:
Hey BBers,

I'm heading up the Drama Club at my son's school, and I'm looking for suggestions for our spring production. The students are 5-8th graders, and we're looking for something non-musical that would run about an hour onstage.
If anyone has any thoughts on where to order scripts, or a particularly fun show for middle schoolers, I'd love to hear them!

There's a book called "Acting Out" that has six one act plays by Sharon Creech, Katherine Patterson, Richard Peck, Avi, Susan Cooper and Patricia Maclachlan (sp?)

They're all appropriate for the age-range, and they're a lot of fun.......

Lindsey B:
Thanks Deirdre!

I published a play with this place while I was still in high school - thank goodness it's out of print now  :embarrassed2. A lot of their scripts are seriously silly, but there are tons to choose from and they do publish for middle schools. Have fun!

The Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois  (http://www.dramaticpublishing.com/) has an excellent catalog of basic plays for young actors.  (Their catalog is not limited to youth plays, however.)  Our community theatre has done several of them; I've directed two or three of them, they are good acting editions that are easy to stage; lots of classics, good adaptations of well known stories, etc.  They have a good selection of titles.
