Drama Teachers
Anybody know some good plays to read with either 13 characters or 6 characters? I have a small drama class. We just read Chekov's The Seagull and read an absurdist play at the beginning of the term. This is my first time teaching this course and I just need more ideas. It is a combination of reading plays, doing improv, writing and acting.

Try Baker's Plays and Dramatic Publishing Company. I get most of my plays from them. You have a larger group of students than I (we average only around 5 actors at a time). We have a drama club not a formal class, and we only produce one-act plays. However, you can find a full range of materials from these two companies. There are many others, but these were the two off the top of my head. One of our earlier plays was a two-act called "Class Action" from Baker's Plays that consisted of a series of short scenes depicting high school life. Your students may find it fun and interesting and not as heavy a material as Chekov. They were good to help students develop character/character motivation.
