The Art Of How To Write A Stage Play

By Eula Clarke


Many talented actors and writers are currently living within the United States and other places across the globe. Some of these individuals know how to write a stage play for small and large theatre companies. There are certain elements which need to be added into these scripts before they are actually viewed by certain audience members. Any person who is interested in this task needs to know about a script, interesting characters, a protagonist, an antagonist, scenery, leading actors, budget and theatre.

In order to become a great playwright certain individuals should attend a school which is located in California or New York. These institutes will give a person the knowledge to create a variety of scripts and other writings. An interesting script will always gain the attention of many producers and directors who are currently working in Chicago or on Broadway.

Characters who are interesting will have the best impact upon a production. These individuals will gain the most attention since they are unique in every possible way. Many plays will last for one hundred and twenty minutes and therefore they have to be good. A good character is usually three dimensional and has the ability to hypnotize the audience in a good way.

A protagonist is the character who is always positive and is considered to be the star of any production. This person will usually be surrounded by supportive individuals who love and respect him/her to the fullest. On certain occasions the protagonist may face certain perils from other evil characters who may want to dominate and control every situation.

People who have read "Macbeth" know that his wife was the main antagonist within this particular production. Lady Macbeth is the perfect example of an effective villain. She convinces her husband to murder the King in order to take over the kingdom. Dr. Smith from the series "Lost In Space" was an antagonist who actually ruined the program after several years. There are other examples of great villains who either made a show successful or a complete failure.

Many new writers dream about casting famous actors like Harrison Ford or Julie Andrews in their productions. At times these actors will only commit to a production for a few weeks or months. More than likely they will also want to play the role of the protagonist since this character is usually the lead. On some rare occasions high paid celebrities may want to expand their horizons and take on the role of the antagonist.

Anyone who is working within the entertainment world also knows about handling a budget. In order to put on a great production a good artist needs to know their financial situation. It may cost a bit of money to hire the leading actors who are currently working in New York or Hollywood.

It is also important to find out about the different theatres that are around town before the actual production takes place. Unfortunately many auditoriums are quite expensive especially if they are large in size. The smaller ones may not accommodate all of the cast and crew who are involved in the production.
