Full Production
Plan, rehearse and stage a complete play
Planning a Complete Play
A full production involves all aspects of theatre: choosing a script or devising original work, casting, directing, designing set/costumes/lights/sound, rehearsing and performing. It requires project management — planning timelines, delegating tasks and coordinating a team.
Example
Production Timeline
Weeks 1-2: Choose script, cast roles, design concepts
Weeks 3-4: Blocking (staging movements), learning lines
Weeks 5-6: Detail work on characters and relationships
Week 7: Add technical elements (set, lights, sound, costumes)
Week 8: Technical and dress rehearsals
Week 9: Performances!
Production roles: director, stage manager, actors, designers, crew
Note
Remember
A production is a team effort — every role matters, from lead actor to backstage crew. Meet deadlines, communicate clearly and support each other. Document your process (photos, journal) for your arts portfolio. The skills you learn (leadership, teamwork, problem-solving) apply to any career.
