Lights, Camera, Action; Your Christmas Play Is on the Its Way

By Aaron Vincett


Planning a Christmas Play is a lot of work, but it pays off in the end. If you are planning on producing a Christmas Play, there are a lot of things to consider. A Christmas Play requires a lot of preparation on everybody's part, but it will all be worth it in the end. Christmas is most peoples favorite season and the happiest time of the year. With a Christmas Play, you can help bring the magic of the Christmas season to life. A Christmas Play is a great tradition and everyone loves seeing a Christmas Play.

When producing a Christmas Play, you need to start planning early. There are so many things that you have to think about. You have to gather a flexible cast, hold auditions, build a Christmas Play set, and have a set time and place for your Christmas Play. The first thing that most people have to consider when putting on a Christmas Play, is what Christmas Play they want to produce. There are a couple Christmas plays that are done quite regularly, but it is also fun to mix it up and to do a Christmas Play that is not done that often. A good idea for a Christmas Play is to take an idea from a popular Christmas movie.

Once you have decided on your Christmas Play, you need to find your flexible cast. Hold auditions for those interested in being in your Christmas Play. Before you hold auditions, you may want to hold a community meeting so everyone is aware of your Christmas Play and the roles that they can try out for. Have a set time where everyone can come and audition. If possible, give everybody a role of some sort so they can feel apart of the Christmas Play.

Another crucial thing that you need to think about in the beginning of planning a Christmas Play is where you are going to hold the Christmas Play and rehearsals. The actual place that you are having your Christmas Play may not be available until right before you Christmas Play takes place, so you need to have a location to have rehearsals and to build your set. You need to consider building your set in advance, and have it easy to relocate. You need to consider whether you want a simple interior set or a simple exterior set. Have your cast members help you build the set, it will help your play come to life.

A good way to get involvement in your Christmas Play is by making it known to they community. The community's involvement is very important when it comes to producing a Christmas Play. Even though a Christmas Play is a lot of work during the holiday season, it will be worth it. You will make a lot of peoples holiday season better and more happy because of your Christmas Play. Make sure you leave plenty of time to plan and execute your Christmas Play so your Christmas Play will go smoothly. Start planning your Christmas Play months out, and do not wait until right before Christmas to start rehearsing. A Christmas play will be a tradition that everyone will love and remember. After producing one Christmas play, you will want to do it every year.

Lights, Camera, Action; Your Christmas Play Will Be the Season's High Point
