How about the Beatrice/Benedict verbal fisticuffs scene from "Much Ado About Nothing"? It's very funny, and will be far more entertaining for the audience (and the actors) than the trite, over-played balcony scene from the mediocre Romeo and Juliet.

Anything but Romeo and Juliet please it is overplayed!! hackneyed and everyone has seen it too often!! How about Titania and Bottom from Midsummer Nights Dream or Caius Martius and Tullus Aufidius fighting from Coriolanus or even Oberson and Puck from Midsummer Nights Dream or if you really want to make em laugh try Dromio and Antipholus getting confused in Comedy of Errors. or for something really powerful the Scottish Play Act 1 end ( Lady and Lord M discussing the murder of Duncan

How about the last act in Othello? The following address will take you to the full script of this play; it also describes all the details that may be a handy aid for you to achieve your aim.
Have a great time at the festival. Good luck! :o) http://www.william-shakespeare.info/act5-script-text-othello.htm

How about Richard III right at the beginning when Richard is trying to seduce the Queen over the fresh grave of her dead husband. It's a beautiful little scene that has lots to play off, lust,hatred, ego, power, revulsion. It's one of my fav's.
Say well clear of Romeo and Juliet everyone does it. Be surprising and original with your choice, it'll make everyone stand up and take notice.

The courtship scene from Henry V (providing the one playing the female role can manage a passable French accent).

EASY !!!!!
Try the Porters scene in Macbeth.
One of you can be off-stage, occasionally knocking on the gate...
Easy enough for you ?
