Tips In Organizing Community Plays

By Colette Foreman


Every person loves a good story. It does not matter whether the story is from a fairy tale or from a novel, as long as there is a delicious plot to much on and delightful characters to listen to, it should be able to spice up a person's life. It stimulates a range of emotions. This is probably why it is interesting to organize community Phoenix plays.

If you are interested in organizing the said event, then consider the right tips to follow for that. Big-scale productions and small-scale ones follow quite a different process. If you focus on the small-scale production, then here are the sensible tips you can take into account when organizing the said event.

First, you should communicate with your steering committee. The said committee is basically the one that will gain exposure for your event. It is also the committee that will aid you in looking for volunteers for organizing the said event. It is through this community that you can make the most out of the event that you are organizing.

Call a first meeting. In the first meeting, you have to set your agenda to cover a few organizational tasks for the event such as the recruitment of the actors, the venue, the choosing of a suitable drama, public relations, and even the securing of the performance rights. You will have to delegate people to tasks.

There should be a central location where the organization of the said event is being handled. Whether it be for the documents related to the play, for the people who are volunteering, or for the donations that are being given for the said event, there should be a central place that people can go to. It can be the library, the neighborhood school, or the local gym.

The play that you should do should be one that is suitable for your level. It is better for you to search for the play that is easy to do, with less character, uncomplicated, and with easy staging. If you do that, then you can increase the chances of success for your first performance. You should try going to bookstores or surfing the Internet to find the said play.

You need actors for the said event. Since this is a good play, you better recruit the actors who are in your community. You just have to recruit them through the high schools, churches, libraries, gyms, and other civic groups within the area. Try to get the word out about you looking for actors to help out.

Donations are necessary for the event as well. You should be able to solicit money from the local businesses. Of course, you should not limit the donations you receive to financial assistance. It would be great if you can find people who will sponsor fabric for costumes, carpentry materials for the props, and many other goods.

Public relations techniques should be used to spread the word out about the said event. You have to get things organized. Do not hesitate to ask for other people's help. Get as much people to know about the event as possible to ensure that there will be lots of people who will watch the said play.
