Though there are suggested settings for each play, you can change them to your individual taste or environment. Your children will enjoy performing these plays everywhere including:

  • Community or local theaters

  • Primary, elementary, and high schools

  • Back yards settings with neighborhood friends

  • Living rooms with family members

  • Church special events and children activities

  • Boys and girls clubs

  • Acting classes and practice

  • or any place children gather

The basic steps are:

  1. Choose a play.
  2. Assign roles and stage jobs to children.
  3. Decide what type of play to perform: with or without costumes; memorize lines or not; on a real stage or a simple room.
  4. Set rehearsal times and dates.
  5. Create props, sets, programs, or costumes.
  6. Make playbill, flyers, programs, and tickets.
  7. Perform dress rehearsal.
  8. Perform the play.

As the director, you are in charge.  Keep in mind, however, that you are not the boss.  The success of any play depends on everyone's input.  The director listens and tries to use as many of the children's' ideas as possible.  Helping children understand their characters is probably the most important role of the director.    

During rehearsal, everyone work closely together on the scripts, play settings, props, costumes, and everything else needed for a successful play.

The director may require the help of others such as prompters, stagehands, and ushers.  A prompter whispers any forgotten lines from offstage to the actors during the actual performance.  Stagehands are responsible for stage sets, props, and moving scenery around during performances.  Ushers take tickets, seat the audience, and pass out programs.  You can use extra kids to perform these task, particularly those that want to participate but do not want to act. 

Use Tips 1-7 & Tips 8-15 to help you better understand the basic steps listed above.  You may not use everything listed , however, the more you take into consideration, the better your chances of a great play.
