what are the things we need to prepare in making theater production?

Question

including costumes,props,stage etc.

Answer 1

You need to decide what play you are doing. From there it will kind of tell you what you need next. Does your play have a lot of parts for people to play, does it have a lot of scenes that need to built, are the characters changing costumes a lot. If the play has a lot of scenes, you want to get a stage that have little or no steps, you don't want to have to carry the scenery up stairs to get it on stage. You will have to decide which person gets which part, and you should have at least one understudy for each person, just in case something happens. If there is a local theater group in your area, call and talk to them. I am sure they would be happy to send someone out to talk to you. Also check with any local colleges, many of them have theater groups. Hope this helps.

1. select a script with advance knowledge of your budget and the facility where you are going to perform which assumes you know where you are going to perform your show. Of course, you will need a director, a set designer, lighting personnel, a prop master or mistress, a person in charge of make-up and one for costumes.

2. Publicize auditions.

3. Hold auditions, cast the show and put together a crew.

4. Design and build the sets, lighting, music and sound effects.

5. Assemble costumes and make-up

6. Publish and keep a rehearsal schedule

7. Keep deadlines in set construction, costumes and rehearsals. For instance, if lines are to be memorized by such and such a date, make sure they are. Be sure sets are constructed in time for both cast and crew to practice using them. The same goes for costumes, lighting cues, music and sound effects. Technical considerations need to be rehearsed too.

8. Make a detailed list of props and get them.

9. Have rehearsals so that your crew can rehearse sound effects, lighting and set changes. This time, the cast has to wait for and make room for the crew.

10. Have a final dress rehearsal with only the director and stage manager as your audience.

11. Publicize your show.

12. Print and sell tickets.

13. Design and print programs. Assemble a crew to handle usher and box office duties.

12. Arrange for concessions at intermission.

14. Put on your show.

15. After each performance, clean the facility and put your props costumes and such away so they will be in their proper spot for the next performance.

16. After the last performance, strike your set; return anything you borrowed, such as furniture and costumes. Don't forget to have borrowed costumes cleaned. Put everything away neatly so you can find it for the next show.

Theater can be a simple as performing one's lines in the park in sunshine in everyday clothes.
It can be complex enough that it takes three semi-trucks to tour the production.

You will need: a director, some actors, an audience, rehearsal space, performance space, costumes, lighting, sound, video, documentation, advertising, a critic, make-up, stage manager, props, lighting designer, spike tape, sound designer, glow tape, running crew, gaff tape, understudies, a choreographer, choreography, dancers, tappers, hoofers, rappers, altos, tenors, conductor, orchestra, masking, curtains, teasers, tormentors, cyclorama, a sharkstooth scrim, a vocal coach, some stage moms, a green room, loading dock, box office, tickets, ushers, traps, coves, flashlights, headsets, cue lights, line sets......... and a script.
