This past weekend I had a couple friends performing in a musical that one of said friends composed all of the music for. The show was a ton of fun! I think there's a lot of flexibility in writing your own shows, and particularly with a student org, a lot of fun, niche jokes that can be thrown in.
Some of these jokes end up being essentially inside jokes for the org. That happens when you don't get a much bigger crowd than your friends and other org members. But a lot of it is jokes about some shared community that you have, if that's the school or the community. Since you aren't performing for a larger audience, there's no need to try and make it applicable to anyone else.
It's also just really fun to see something that your friends put so much time and effort into! Even if it's a small production, it's really satisfying to put your heart and soul into a piece and see if come to fruition. I think we forget that a lot where we want to make money and milk something for all it's worth. But sometimes it's fun to do something for the sake of doing it!
So that's all, support your local theater productions and make your local artists happy. :)
