Crucible would be excellent for sets and costumes, as would Romeo and Juliet. Think about using shows that they may already read for school. It has challenge's that need to be solved (suggested nudity and the transitions with the fig leaves). There is a PDF adaptation online in addition to versions at most of the publishing houses. The contrast of those two plays works well with my students.įor costumes, you might try The Diaries of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain. I bought a class set of that play, which has scenes taking place in a house, a school, a stage, a parking lot, and a car-and breaks for scene changes will kill it. The second play we read is "Small Actors" by Stephen Gregg.

There are some great research topics there. It needs a very realistic set of a kitchen farm house-or realistic elements to suggest such a place-with steps to upstairs. We read Susan Glaspell's "Trifles," which is available for download at, as it was published in 1916 and is public domain. It was in the first volume of 10-minute plays from the Actors Theater of Louisville - which is a little pricy but well worth having.īryan, I have my Theatre I students read two one-act plays near the beginning of the semester to explore the very different settings that are required for plays. The make-up is pretty straight, but there are interesting challenges in all the other areas. "Attack of the Moral Fuzzies" by Nancy Beverly is a great little 10-minute play with lots of design possibilities for a beginning student. Subject: Good scripts for Design exercises Please say WHAT area of design you suggest this for (so I don't make a fool of myself assigning set design for Our Town when you were suggesting an awesome period costume design). The main thing is to have students go through the process of designing for scripts that can be designed in multiple different ways (that way I don't get 35 box sets for Arsenic and Old Lace).

My college education is coming up lacking! Short plays are better so we can read them quicker, as are free online plays (if they have cool design possibilities). I'm a bad technical theater teacher sometimes and I rarely teach design in the hurry to build the shows.Ĭan I have some suggestions on some accessible plays for brand new technical theater students that would be a blast to read and design for (and possibly includes some juicy research possibilities)?
