Tips In Organizing 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, it is a given for you to communicate with your steering committee. This is the committee that can help out with seeking volunteers for the said event. It is also through the said committee that you should be able to place an ad about the said event. If the said play is for a community, the ads are usually posted for free.

There is a first meeting that must be held before everything else. In your first meeting, you need to set the agenda. This agenda basically covers the organizational tasks that you have for the said event, which technically includes choosing the venue, choosing the theme of the play, recruitment of performers, and other similar 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.

Look for the best play that you can use for this event. It should not be difficult to search for a good one, considering how there are lots of available ones over the bookstores and Internet. When you are choosing which play is the best to you, you should pick the ones that are uncomplicated, especially when this is the first performance for the town.

You need actors for your play. Thus, you have to recruit the right amount of people for this event. You should be able to get lots of people interested in applying for the position of acting out the characters of the play if you get the word out. You have to pick the ones who suit the role the most.

Ask for donations. You can solicit them from the local businesses in your community. When you are asking for donations, you should not limit it to financial assistance. You can go to fabric stores to ask them to donate clothes that can be used for props or some other local businesses that can sponsor the event.

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.
