Question 1

WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEATRE! WILL THIS BE SOMETHING WE CAN DO?

Yes, PLACES, PLEASE! Let's Put On A Show boxes are a step-by-step acting curriculum that anyone can do. There are many resources provided to support someone new to the art of theatre. You will receive access to instructional videos for each of the lessons in the curriculum. The director's script includes a four-week calendar to walk you day by day through the process of putting on your play for an audience.

In addition, there is a Pinterest board with resources specific to each script.

Question 2

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO PUT ON A PLACES, PLEASE! PLAY?

Accepted Answer

Most of the scripts can be performed by 3-6 characters. The role of the director can be an individual or one of the actors or the whole cast. In some families, parents take one or two of the roles. This provides hours of family fun and interaction! 
 
These plays were originally designed for siblings, friends and neighborhood children to get together and put on a play. They are a great addition to any homeschool as a way to learn how to act in your own home.
