Hi Matthew, The community theater I work for is very small as well. I work with children in your same age range so I totally understand your situation. The stage is 26'WX30'DX12'H. I know how hard it can be to pick a show for the space. Im currently working on High School Musical and High School Musical 2 this summer. I have a cast of 29 and the set is pretty much a basic platform and flat set-up. The set is placed towards the back of the stage and I use alot of different props and minor set pieces that wheel on and off to represent all the different locations. I use the aisles like crazy as entrances and acting areas as well. The way I make it work is just by dividing the cast in half and I have one group do one number and the other does the following number. It helps with rehearsals and it makes the cast seem endless. Last summer we worked on Elton John and Tim Rices Aida. It was the biggest show we've ever done and it felt perfect in the space. I dont let the size of the space stop me. I feel that you can make any show work, the space just pushes me to be more creative as a director and choreographer. My backstage is very tiny as well. We really dont have any wing space but we make it happen. My adive would be to just find a show that moves you and excites your cast. You'll make anything work if your inspired. I dont think any show is "small." Its just what you do with it. Even shows like "The Last Five Years" can be extremely complex. I have some pictures from when I did Aida on my page. Hope this helps.
