To make the holiday more interesting and unite all those present, regardless of age, you can stage a performance based on a fairy tale. Adults will be able to plunge into childhood, and kids will enjoy their favorite story. Before you start rehearsing and preparing the costumes, you need to work on a fairy tale test. It needs to be significantly altered to get the script for the play.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a fairy tale based on which the play will be staged. Target the audience you are making it for. The fairy tale should not be too profound and philosophical if the play is watched by preschoolers, and "Kolobok" is not suitable for fifth graders. Also consider the number of actors and the material cost of costumes and props.
Step 2
Determine the type of storytelling that will be presented on stage. All the author's words can be pronounced by a separate hero - the narrator (for him, you can come up with the role of a storyteller or another character). Or you can do without the author's text if the essence of what is happening remains clear. In addition, you can transform the narrator's words into the actions of the main characters or weave them into their monologues. The main requirement for such a correspondence of a fairy tale is the organic nature of what is happening on the stage.
Step 3
Write out the remaining dialogues and monologues of the characters from the work. Each of them needs to be worked out separately. Remove unnecessary phrases that do not affect the overall action and do not reveal the character of the hero. This is necessary if the script in an unabridged form risks becoming too long a performance.
Step 4
Adapt the text for your audience and actors. If there are small children in the hall and non-professional actors on the stage, sentences that are too long can be broken down into short phrases. And replace words incomprehensible to children with synonyms.
Step 5
Add a mise-en-scene description to the script. Describe the movements of the actors, their placement on the stage in each fragment of the performance. It is necessary to take into account both the laws of composition and the inner "psychology" of the performance. The location of the actors on the stage should emphasize the action, continue it in movement or contrast with it.
Step 6
Add some remarks to the script. These are notes for the actors and the director. Several sentences of scenario directions describe what, in what conditions, how it happens.
