The checklist includes:

  • Every aspect of a school production carefully mapped out, from show selection to opening night

Who will benefit from this resource?

Heads of Drama

Putting on a production is incredibly rewarding, but can be time-consuming. Spread the workload by recruiting a production team and delegating tasks from the beginning. Students don't just have to be in the cast to be the stars of the show!

Students

Students don't need to be on stage to be the stars of the show! Giving students ownership of the production from the start will keep them more engaged in the whole process. More responsibility will also help students develop their organisational and leadership skills.

Whole school

A production presents many opportunities for collaborative work, which this resource will help you identify. Involving other departments will make your production a whole-school success and our countdown will ensure it's all done in plenty of time.
