How To Properly Organize Simple 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.

To those who have an interest in organizing the program, it should be easy to do so if you just follow the right tips for it. Regardless of whether it is a big-scale program or a small-scale one, you can still make use of the said tips. For those who are in a small-scale production, here are tips you can use.

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 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.
