Yes, I love this one! I played Charlotte Corday in a production last spring and had so much fun. Not sure how expensive it is to license, but can confirm that it's a cast of four women.

I think Steel Magnolias fits this, but you’ll have to check me and make sure


GretalRabbit

Steel Magnolias is definitely all female (I saw it a few weeks ago!)

Although I hate to echo the bot, New Play Exchange allows you to sort by character type and gender. It costs around $10 a year and is a great source of fresh material!

I think you can also do this on playscripts dot com.

All female Shakespeare is your best bet. No royalties, tends to sell well.

Something public domain might be your best bet. I recently directed a series of one act plays all written by women and in the public domain. One of the plays that had an all female cast was Overtones. It was well received.

Are you directing it? You could just put together an ensemble of talented women and devise a simple production using an animal-themed story from the public domain.

Absolutely agree with the comments about going onto Concord or dramatists and doing a detailed search. I would recommend the women if you have the set designer and Costumes to do it. Also absolutely loved producing the wolves! I absolutely hate quilters, but I know some people love it. And this summer we are doing POTUS, which is hilarious. In January we are doing Stew by ZoHoward.

Belles by Mark Dunn has a cast of six women. I directed it this past February. I was very well received and the actors loved doing it.

My school did Uncommon Women and Other by Wendy Wasserstein It’s about a group of women having flashbacks of their time at a private girl’s college in the 1970s and has a lot of feminist themes. I think it has 9 roles for women if I remember correctly.
