As you have learned through your work in this unit and in the unit on playwriting, creating a play is hard work! It takes creativity to find a unique idea that will appeal to your audience. It takes time to develop and revise that idea into something that a director and producer will want to put on stage. But, imagine how proud a playwright would be to see this final product on stage!
- Did you imagine there were so many different styles of theatre out there?
- What about how complicated those styles can be?
- Can you believe that a comedy can make you cry?
- Or that a drama can make you laugh?
The choices for a playwright are limitless! In the end it is the decision of the playwright. He or she must decide:
- What story do I want to tell?
- Who do I want to tell it to?
- How do I want to tell it?
It is now time for you to tell your story!
