This is a creative question: I want you to create an idea USING APPROPRIATE FORMAT AND SUBHEADINGS WITHIN EACH PARAGRAPH. for a new theatrical STAGE production. This can be either a new version (revival) of something already done or a brand new concept. It can be a musical or stage play. It CANNOT BE A FILM. You will act as the producer: LABEL EACH 1-5. (for 2-5) responses of at least 100 words each.
Please answer all prompts in your own thoughts and words and outlined format or lose credit. Don’t forget to state the question and put your answer below it.
1. TITLE: What is the name of your theatre production? (Just the Title)
2. IDEA: FULLY Describe the theatre production idea. (100-word minimum)
3. CONCEPT: FULL DESCRIBE what would be unique about your theatre production? (100-word minimum)
4. DEMOGRAPHICS: FULLY DESCRIBE what kind of audience would your theatre production reach? (100-word minimum)
5. PRODUCTION: FULLY DESCRIBE HOW YOU WOULD BRING YOUR PRODUCTION TO LIFE. (100-word minimum)
How would you bring your theatre production to life. Think about all the roles we have discussed, the writers (book), the composer (score) , the director, the designers, performers and audience. How would you stage it?
Remember to answer fully and clearly label each section.
Think about what worked for early producers like Florenze Ziegfeld (Ziegfeld Follies) and George M. Cohan (Little Johnny Jones)
Also, what worked for modern producers like David Merrick (42nd Street), the Walt Disney Company (Lion King, Beauty, and the Beast), Cameron Mackintosh (Les Miserables), Mark Platt (Universal Studios and Wicked) and Lin Manuel Miranda (Hamilton).
Could you incorporate any of their production techniques into your production?
Have fun with this.
