I've found a one-act farce that might be fun to record in a Zoom meeting. It has 5 male characters, 1 female, and 1 narrator. Here it is in a Google Document:

I'm willing to oversee it on the Zoom call and edit it afterward (I've done it before with in-person one-act play readings. These things DO require editing afterward - all the chuckles, outtakes, side comments that inevitably come in.)
It says the play runs about 45 minutes, but with setting up volume levels, outtakes, and other delays, it could easily run into the 2-3 hour range to do it. I'd like to do it during the day, on a weekday, maybe 9-12 or 10a-1p EST.
The play takes place in Britain, but only one character has much cockney in his lines. Whoever plays him will have to be halfway reasonable with that accent.
If you're interested in doing this, you'll need to be halfway comfortable with Zoom - setting up your microphone for it and adjusting the volume, perhaps, to try to match others, and being able to read from the script while in Zoom.
If the readers are OK with it, I'm OK having others in attendance; they'd have to mute their mics when we are reading the lines, though, and maybe turn off their video, so we're only seeing the readers so as not to be so nervous.
So... how do I do this? Do I just set a date, take claims, and run it from there?
