Hello everyone! I need some help finding a one act play for our competition next year. It needs to be female heavy and serious/dramatic and around 35 minutes. Any suggestions? thank you!

I did a piece last year that was pretty wonderful.....The Dark Road.  It examines the all female concentration camp and how one goes down that path to be "indoctrinated".  Also try At the Bottom of Lake Missoula.  

 

What sources have you looked at?  Both Playscripts and TheatreFolk allows you to search by cast req and topic/genre.   LOTS of one acts.  (Some are crap, some are great.) You can read most of the script on line, too.

There actually a one act play called "Competition Piece" that is very fun, and can be totally gender blind casting.

That IS a hoot.  Big cast, too.
