I'm teaching a Play Directing class to 6 high school students this Spring. We're considering doing a night of one act plays as an adjunct to the course.

Do you have favorites, new or old?

Did you do/see it/them straight up or done with a twist? (inverted genders, serious play done for laughs, etc.)

A side question is if you've ever a) taken a play to a Drama Festival, or even b) gone to watch a Drama Festival?

Thanks!

Wow!

http://www.heniford.net/4321/index.php?n=Main.HomePage

This is an online guide to more than 5000 one act plays with 1-4 characters.

It isn't perfect, by any means. It didn't have the name of playwright or characters for a one act I looked up, though it had a potential way to acquire it.

But... it's pretty amazing.

And... the maintainer of the site accepts non-published plays for listing, if you know anybody who has written one of these.
