So, Flat Earth Theatre's kinda at a loss for what to do next. We need a good play that isn't so demanding set-wise (as we have no money) and has a small cast. Like 3-4 characters.

Any suggestions?

I worked on DEAR LIAR last fall - you should have come to see it, Ren!

Val: (all of these are 3-4 characters except the last two)

Nixon’s Nixon (I’m sure Kevin might like this)

Old Times by Harold Pinter (Cast of three, wonderful script)

Bash or The Mercy Seat by Neil LaBute (One of you in the group has probably read these - and weren’t you considering doing the latter play?)

A Beckett play (Happy Days, Endgame, etc)

Yasmina Reza’s plays (what I’m currently working on here in CA) - Art, Life x 3, The Unexpected Man.

The Zoo Story by Albee (though he can be difficult about performance rights issues)

How To Act Around Cops, a little play I saw in London in 2004 that had a timely critique on American paranoia. More info here: http://www.chantalarts.co.uk/copspressrelease.html

Dealer’s Choice or Howard Katz by Patrick Marber

If you want to make the expenses back, I’d reccomend going for something more “known”, but on the other hand, I’m always a fan of taking artistic license and creative risk.
