Beginning

Originally I had the idea of writing a movie script and filming it, but then I realized that that would be hard. Actors could be hard to find, as would be the equipment and the sets. So I decided that I had to do something else, and I realized that I could write a play instead. It would be more manageable and we could perform it and possibly charge for the performance and give the money to charity. I think that this is what I will do, but I need to come up with ideas so that I can write it.

Ideas for the play:
  • Modern-day Shakespeare?
  • Comedy
  • Murder Mystery
  • Something Audience-participation
  • Children's play
  • Adaptation of a well-known story (fairy tale, bible story, etc.)

I think I definitely want it to be a sort of comedy, or at least kind of funny.

List of things needed:

  • Idea for script
  • Script
  • Permission to use auditorium when needed
  • Drama teacher's approval of using the drama group
  • Posters/ advertisements (?)
  • A little bit of fundraising ahead of time if I'm going to make advertisements.
