So you want to produce a musical or play?. This article explains the basics in starting your own production.
To begin with, choose a simple play. Whether it be a drama or musical try and go for a play with limited amount of actors, especially important if this is your first production. If your using someone else’s material always get there permission first.
Next, work out your budget. Unfortunately grants are rarely given on small, first time productions, so decide whether you will fund the play or an executive producer instead.
Now it is time to find other important members for your production crew. You need to find people specialised in set and costume, promotions, producing and directing to list a few. Finding a good stage manager, with good organising skills, is important and will greatly benefit you.
Locating the right venue for your play will depend allot on your budget. Community centres and public parks are ideal if you are on a limited budget. Commercial theatres are more expensive and can be booked out for months. Whatever place you choose, insure the lighting and sound is good.
When you have read the script and know what characters are needed, then it is time to audition for your play. You can hold auditions or you may already have actors in mind for certain roles.
Now you have your cast, play, productions team and budget it’s now time for rehearsals! The rehearsal space that you decide on is important. Venues should be well lit, ideally be mirrored and have sprung floors. These floors are important for dance rehearsals to avoid injury.

It’s important to rehearse your play time and time again. Opting for the right rehearsal space will make rehearsal less tiresome and much more enjoyable. All rehearsals should be attended by all the cast. Remember the saying ‘Practice makes perfect!’
