Amateur Theatre & Writing Scripts

I'm wearing what?

Thinking ahead to our next production, our script for that is already at the fore front of our minds (in amateur theatre, you've have to think one, probably 2 plays ahead!).

Our next amateur theatre offering in Wolverhampton and Codsall will is our highly enjoyable, and warmly recieved Children's Play. Bright colours, crazy costumes and dancing that once every 12 months we use to make fools of ourselves doing, all for the enjoyment of a packed houses of children and adults alike. Last year was Snow White, but we've also staged, Dick Whittington, Robin Hood, Hansel and Gretel, Jack & The Beanstalk, Aladdin and many more wonderful productions have been staged.

  But the next one hasn't been performed in a while, and frankly the script is stale. Re write time!

That brings new amateur theatre challenges. Balance? There are hundreds of things to consider, not least the available cast. The audience, the cast, the budget, all need considering!

Writing a script is a challenge, and not oen I've ever successfully undertaken. Thankfully, there are far more talented people than me in the society. I look forward to reading their finished product. Because no matter what, its going to be well worth the wait!
