Given the likely demographic of your troupe, may I suggest The Whales of August as your first production.
And you need a theatre that's disabled-friendly with ushers rushing out with wheelchairs and Zimmer frames and dog muzzles as the Ediths and Pearls arrive. Oh, and here's a scary thought, will you be serving food during intermission?
The last acting I did was Off Broadway
I played the part of, Off--Pearl was the broad.
I hope you will put on the show in your lovely restaurant--And I hope you cook with gas--All the better to euthanize Missy (Notice; I didn't use the B-word.) Sybil: for the humor element, of course: Pearl & I will ll be laughing in our muzzles.
Joking aside; I played the male....Yeah! Male! Me!...lead in a Tennessee Williams play (The clean one.) off Broadway: a church basement near in the Bronx--Pre burnout Bronx.
Seriously, it sounds like a wonderful idea--But you do need the right vehicle. (No, no motocys!)
Miss Sadie Thompson might be a natural--So many sluts fighting for the rol├й of Sadie...and better suited to play rain...in the rain?...acid rain?...Can you imagine the splash Billy would make as a raindrop!...Hell, I'd pay 100 baht just to see that!
But I was thinking you might do something Greek: the costumes would cost next to nothing--The costumes would be next to nothing!
Androcleas and the Lion might be fun to do Thai\Chinese Opera style--But, then, the whole (Farang) cast would want to be inside the Chinese lion: goosing the boy in front of them...Boy, farang, boy, farang--Repeat as necassary. But the whole show might turn into a big orgy inside a lion suit--Which might be entertaining but I think you don't have the floor space...Think you could you rent Lek's for the night?
Oh, well; maybe Andromeda would be a better choice...Lots of Num in (very) short togas. I'd be happy to play Perseus if Hedda would condesend to return from...where ever the Smurf she is...to play the sea monster? (Think what you'd save on makeup!) At the end of the performance you could give Pattacademy Awards...Shortest Toga\best butt; Best tilt-of-the toga; Best performance by a FBOC...
Seriously; I can hardly wait!
