#1Advice for a New Play
Posted: 12/13/06 at 3:25pmLast summer I was given the oppertunity to direct for a theater company, I wanted to do a play called Summer Reports Grade, 3 in which three new third grade students recount their summer experience through monologues.It's brand new, it's free, and it's a great start if I ever wanted to do anything else. Last year it fell thru. I want to do it in a black box with very minimal set. The two colleges in my town who have blackboxes are full with their own productions. And my school right after our musical begins the spring play, and I've tried to haggle them and their is no use.I keep on telling myself to "be creative" but nothing comes to mind, accept doing it outside in like a park or something. I don't know what to do. I need help from other creative minds like you. HELP! Thanks-Logan

Posted: 12/13/06 at 3:46pmI kmow nothing about the play, but you could maybe do it in a classroom, considering it deals with students. WIth good lighting, it could work. Do you have any mobile lighting equipment available to you?
