Drama
Group Productions: How are they staged?
The Drama
Group try to stage two productions a year. A play in the Spring
and a Pantomime or Comedy in the Autumn.
The spring
production began with the planning stage at the end of 2010, (what
play, when etc). The Cast was selected in January and rehearsals
began at once, During February, rehearsals took place twice a week,
(for two to three hours) and, because of a late cast change for
this production, three nights a week later in the month and throughout
March.
The stage
in the Hall is a 'kit' stage and was put up on the evening of Friday
1st April and the set construction followed immediately on from
this (working all day Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd) and at various
times over the following days.
The cast
got their first opportunity to rehearse the entire play, on stage,
using the set with all its props, on Wednesday (6th). Rehearsals
also took place on stage all day on Sunday 10th April during which
the lighting and sound effects were worked in.
The full
dress rehearsal took place on the 14th April.
After the
last performance on the 16th, there was a cast party, and the following
Sunday morning, the set and stage were dismantled completely and
packed away until the Autumn.
Add to this:
Set design; costume creation; production of the poster for the play;
creating all the tickets (all 90 tickets for each night have to
be individually cut up!); selling the tickets; publicity; creating
(and printing) the programme and you can see that a huge amount
of work goes into each production.
So....if
you buy a ticket, please turn up! We would hate all this work to
finish with us playing to an empty Hall!!!
And yes,
we do ask oursleves why we do it!
