Grease
Mon, 20 June 2005, 12:39 pmHi all
my school is doing "grease" in july next year, and i am in the process with my drama teacher of becoming the director for a SCHOOL production. I will be in year 12, and we would like as a cast to make this a student run, organised, and cast'd production...
What are all of your views???

Hello Lookover
If you are asking our views, will this not dilute the 100% student content if you follow what we say ?
However if you want your students to be responsible for the end result after they have gone out and got assistance, mentoring etc to use this as a basis for their production, then you have done the right thing as a lot of school productions leave it untill the week before dress rehearsals to ask for assistance.
Break your production into areas of responsability and have the people responsable for these areas meet regulary for production meetings to make sure things are on track.
Go outside your school, look at productions and talk to those responsable for those productions to find out what worked and what didn't.
Chase up your resources now as you have time to get things put onto the school budget for next year or allow time for fundraising.
Do mini productions to allow your production areas to get experience and time to debug.
Take into account exams and holidays when planning rehearsals etc.
If you start planning, publicity etc early on, you give yourself a better chance of success. Use this site to ask for specific assistance as there is a lot of resources available. (ps just don't say you want to be famous)
Hope it goes well
