You will need to either ditch the drummer and write exclusively
hushed, intimate music -- or mic the viola. If this is a regular
group, you should consider adding a sixth member -- the best
soundperson you can find. They are worth their weight in gold.
You should also check out this YouTube video on options for cello
amplification -- a lot of this is directly applicable to the viola:

Hi Chuck,
I've got a jazz quintet with double bass, piano, drums, trombone and
viola. Any suggestions about getting a balance between the bone and
the
viola without amplifying the viola? I'm using Finale for the music
(just
to keep this on-topic!).
We're going to be playing in a smallish space and I'd prefer not to
amplify anything.

The only time I will allow microphones to be used in my performances
is for singers. If I perform outdoors (which I try to avoid), it is
unavoidable and rarely sounds good to me. Guitar amps - OK, a
necessity, bass amps almost never. Amplified grand pianos - ugh.
