Smart UIL OAP Productions?

In the high school theatre teaching realm, UIL One Act Play is the "Big One" in the academic year. It is really difficult to choose an effective and successful play with a limited budget and miles of rules and regulations to abide by. Some teachers choose a new play and send it off to be approved, some choose and older play and make a different cutting while the rest produce a play with an approved cutting but with a different spin to it. Nevertheless, there are certain plays that almost always make the cut and/or always attempted for competition.

There is a list of the top 10 UIL OAP that were produced repetitively in 2009 from highest to lowest:
Actor's Nightmare
Dearly Departed
A Midsummer Night's Dream
The Women of Lockerbie
The Boys Next Door
(History of) Tom Jones
Antic Spring
The Diviners
Over the River and through the Woods
Steel Magnolias

I intend on reading each of these scripts and blogging my thoughts about the technicalities of producing these plays. These include set, costume and lighting design, actor selection and various other problems or great attributes.
