Amatuer Theatre HELP!

When those discouraging things pop up that's when it's also handy to have others working on productions with you. I 'co-directed' my first play (one I put on at school, a two act, 14 cast member show which had the works going- biggest thing I've done myself) Getting the show off the ground was the hardest part at first- I had to go through a complete script rewrite in one weekend, plus a bunch of other things (there were a few people against me). However the producing side of it was different to the directing side of it. If it wasn't for my co-director and her excitement for the show I would have thrown in the towel. She kept my excitement up too, and working together helped us pull off the show. Mind you that show had a whole term's worth of rehearsals, and we'd cast a term before that- it was quite a long timeframe, and the final result shows the effort that went into the production. But yes excitement and a trusty side kick will help you in those harder times! ____________________________________________________________ Currently working on: 'Locked In' a short play based on a real life experience For more details visit: www.freewebs.com/lazycreationsgroup
