This culminating unit guides students from final rehearsals to premiere and beyond, focusing on production logistics, promotion, professional practices, and craft benchmarking. Students will synthesize rehearsal planning, marketing/submission strategies, craft criteria, and playwright study to prepare a realistic plan for getting a play produced and entering the field.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze rehearsal processes, production timelines, and premiere requirements to create a detailed rehearsal schedule and premiere checklist for a one-act or short play
- Apply marketing, submission, and production-seeking strategies to develop a production and promotion plan that includes a target venue list, sample promotional materials, and a submission/query timeline
- Evaluate dramatic works using the ten hallmarks of a great play and provide a written critique of two scripts that informs a revision plan for the student’s own play
- Demonstrate professional career practices by researching ten influential playwrights, identifying emulable habits and strategies, and drafting a personal networking and submission strategy to secure future productions
