How To Organize Community Plays

By Colette Foreman


Fiction or not, every individual is a sucker of good stories. When it comes to stories, everyone has a genre they love. There are also plots that speak to a person's soul. There are even books that tell the story of a person's life. Stories easily stimulate emotions in people. Thus, being able to host a simply community Phoenix plays is quite meaningful.

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.

Have a central location which can serve as a base where the said event is being organized. It does not matter if the central location is a big place or a small one or if it is within a library. The purpose of the central location is so that people will know where they will go to when they have concerns regarding the event.

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.

You need some donations for your event. The donations can come in the form of financial assistance or in other forms. You can ask for goods that can help out with the costume or with the props or with the stage. It is up to the sponsor you got who is willing to provide the donation for the event.

You should know that public relations will help you out in this. You need to spread the news about the actual event through various public relations techniques. When you do that, you will be enticing a lot of people to come and watch the play that you have organized. The more people to come, the better.
