whats a plot/idea do you want to see on the stage?

i've been wanting to write a play/musical for some time now and i've finally started to commit, except i've been scratching my brain and i can't think of a concrete plot. preferably something sad, and something i can have fun with when concerning the backstage elements. also preferably at least a little school appropriate, something that doesnt need a huge budget, and an idea that is translatable to the stage. thanks !!

I can't wait to see what ideas sprout out of this pandemic. Perhaps the next theatrical masterpiece is being written right now and we don't even know it.

I agree with Dramamama, you’re going to be spending A LOT of time with these characters and this plot and all the research that comes with it so it needs to be something that you feel absolutely committed to. Watch lots of movies and TV shows set across multiple time periods and think about every character and when you think of a question about the plot, write it down and explore it. You’d be amazed how often you find inspiration by questioning things that movies/TV shows don’t show.
