Have you considered AIDA? That show could really be done with as much or as little set/costuming that the theater can afford. I would personally love to see AIDA done in a blackbox, because I think it would bring out the intimacy of the piece a lot more than it would on a traditional stage. Another show to consider would be Little Women. I think that piece would also be quite nice in a blackbox. Either of these shows would work and both are incredible.
Little women is a possibility. I like the idea of Aida in there too. I did a little research last night and though maybe Chorus Line, Cabaret, Pippin, and some others. I'll suggest Sida and LW too! We're having a board meeting Sunday at 8. We'll be discussing then. We just finished up our first small scale of the year which was The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, before that we did our kids show, Dear Edwina. Now we're doing our straight show, Cheaper by the Dozen. Good ideas though, thank you Sean!
