-
Find a play you want to do
such as Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. (
We are putting on both of these
plays this year!)
-
Get together with the
performing arts teacher to make sure everything runs smoothly.
-
Choose a class or grade to act
in the play.
-
Hold auditions.
-
Have the performing arts
teacher give out parts of the play to the students that were selected.
-
Find scripts so the actors and
actresses can memorize their roles.
-
Assign duties to each person in
the class or to a group (if there are too many people assign some people two
parts).
-
If there are still
people left without a part, assign a stage manager for each act.
-
Hold a meeting with your
principal and performing arts teacher to schedule dates for rehearsal.
-
You should rehearse at
least once a week and have at least two dress rehearsals. (Dress
rehearsals should be held the week before the show).
-
Tell the actors and actresses
what they should wear and which side of the stage they should exit and enter
on.
-
Once the play is finished
being put together, you need to set a date,time and location the play is
going to be held.
-
In order to donate to charity,
you need to decide on ticket prices! We are charging one dollar per person.
-
Make sure the lights and
microphones are all working properly before the night of the play!
-
Assign a teacher to take
pictures and tape the play.
-
Ask the teachers to have their
students make posters during free time to hang around the school.
-
Have the principal put out
notices to advertise the play. Make sure that the date, time,
location, and the price of tickets are included on the flyers.
-
Make sure the actors and
actresses know to come early the night of the play so they can have a
quick run through.
-
Now that everything has been
completed, you are ready to start the show.
-
Let the show begin! Break a
Leg!
