It's a one-act play, high-school age group. I don't know exactly what the play is going to be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Unless you can make it really special and different, do not use "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" It is probably the most well known anywhere. Go to a library and read through them. There are lots of wonderful choices.
