Knowing How To Write A Stage Play

By Eula Clarke


Fortunately there are many young and talented writers and poets who are currently living upon this planet. Luckily many of them learn how to write a stage play while they are doing their acting classes. This is important for many thespians to know since they like to direct, produce and create scripts. Everyone knows that leading actors are an important part of the theater as well as dazzling scenery and interesting stage lights. A person who embarks on this endeavor also knows the importance of major characters.

In order to become a great playwright certain individuals should attend a school which is located in California or New York. These institutes will give a person the knowledge to create a variety of scripts and other writings. An interesting script will always gain the attention of many producers and directors who are currently working in Chicago or on Broadway.

The script will introduce interesting characters who are able to hold the audience's attention for at least two hours. Human beings who arrange plays are always creating unique characters who will find themselves in easy or difficult situations. Sometimes the character's issues can be resolved by the end of the show since many of these stories tend to have happy endings.

A protagonist is the character who is always positive and is considered to be the star of any production. This person will usually be surrounded by supportive individuals who love and respect him/her to the fullest. On certain occasions the protagonist may face certain perils from other evil characters who may want to dominate and control every situation.

People who have read "Macbeth" know that his wife was the main antagonist within this particular production. Lady Macbeth is the perfect example of an effective villain. She convinces her husband to murder the King in order to take over the kingdom. Dr. Smith from the series "Lost In Space" was an antagonist who actually ruined the program after several years. There are other examples of great villains who either made a show successful or a complete failure.

Many new writers dream about casting famous actors like Harrison Ford or Julie Andrews in their productions. At times these actors will only commit to a production for a few weeks or months. More than likely they will also want to play the role of the protagonist since this character is usually the lead. On some rare occasions high paid celebrities may want to expand their horizons and take on the role of the antagonist.

There should always be enough money within the budget to purchase shoes, clothing, jewelry and food. The people in charge of the production have to make sure that their characters are dressed appropriately for each scene that is written. They must also ensure that their actors are well paid and fed during their time with the production.

It is also important to find out about the different theatres that are around town before the actual production takes place. Unfortunately many auditoriums are quite expensive especially if they are large in size. The smaller ones may not accommodate all of the cast and crew who are involved in the production.
