How to write a play
It made me
ecstatic!
 "Five months of procrastination, five intense days of writing... one finally finished play."
How I did it: I wrote a treatment for a children's play while I was working at a summer youth theatre camp in August 2008. One of my colleagues suggested I write the play so they could produce it in the summer of 2009. Lessons & tips: DON'T WAIT. DO IT NOW. If you have an idea kicking around in your head, get it out on paper. That's really all I can say. Discipline yourself to writing at least 15 minutes a day... that's about three pages... totally do-able. Resources: I majored in theatre and film in university and took both playwriting and screenwriting courses while I was there, which definitely helped. Other than that, I just sat and wrote. :)

How I did it: I had an idea at a barbecue, while talking shit with a bunch of other actor-y types. My friend happened to mention it to the Artistic Director at a local theatre, who took me to lunch and basically said "let's do it!"I spent the next few months ripping The Tempest down to its bare bones and reworking it into something that kids would not only enjoy, but hopefully take lessons from. I killed my darlings over and over again, but the end res… Read how I did it…
How I did it: The best choice I made was to keep the script short. By setting an attainable minimum on page numbers, I was able to focus on quality and not quantity. I worked a few times a week for two months, and was able to turn out a script I could be mildly proud of. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just started writing. That's all you can do. You have an idea, and you just carry on writing your idea. You'll have about 30 ideas before you do.I ended up going through Inside the Trench (WW1 Story) Sweeney Todd (Horror) Not Another Bloody Comedy on In the West End, and Not Broadway (Comedy) and God knows how many others before I did, Reservations at Nine, a simple two act play about three people, a love triangle, and… Read how I did it…
cincibohemian94 Typing this one a big crazy computer in TimeWarner store! I am cool :)
I would really love to do this, seeing as it would help me with different aspects of my performing career as well, I just have one slight problem.
I’m clueless as to what to write about!
Anyone who can give me any form of an idea, I’ll be indebted to you forever…watch that word not be spelled right…
i would love to finish the play i started, especially since i had so many ideas and only wrote about 3 pages!
scooterbird is getting things accomplished ...slowly
I’m veering away from my source material going forward…there’s a lot of stuff I want to do with the storyline that just doesn’t fit the Shakespearean idiom.

I started this goal a couple days ago. I AM GOING TO STICK WITH IT!!! Yeah, I made that promise to myself. It’s seeming a little stupid starting out, but hey, there’s always editting…as long as I get it done!:)
i had been meanin to write a one act play for a long time to enter inmy schools compitition and then one day i just grabbed a marbel notebook and worked nonstop. I gave it to several friends to read and comment on and by the ffth day it was ready to go. It was submitted and cosen and will be preformed this summer! just the thought of having my peice be performed is very exciting!
last month i got fired from my corporate job. and it was the best thing to ever happen to me. i have always wanted to write but never had the time or opportunity. now i’m broke and hungry and that raw emotion is translating into the best writing of my life. i am hoping to finish shortly.
i would like to write a play….something about the human condition and
philosophy…..everyday people, with extraordinary dreams.
all about growth & attitude…..but how everything remains the same !
January 8/09 – 9:00 PM to 10:30 PM – 6 pages of my play completed (43 pages total, approximately 9500 words)
I’m so happy! (And actually really proud of myself for finishing it.)
I’ve emailed it off to my director… I hope he likes it!
I’m nearing the home stretch! :D
EDIT: Some afternoon work… 12:15 PM to 1:15 PM – 4 pages of my play completed (37 total, approximately 8100 words)
