Getting a drama that the audience will love is always a difficult job for directors. If you are a teacher, then you probably understand the challenges in selecting one act plays for high school. There are many things, such as the appropriateness of the setting and the subject, the values of the characters and so on, which you have to consider. However, with the guidelines below, this should be a rather simple task.

One-act plays are quite tricky because a lot of things must be left out. Therefore, you need something that will be easy to direct and one that the audience can easily identify with. Such performances are normally very short, so if they is a lot of information, you may have trouble with the script.

Ensure that your story is complete. This is important because you do not want to have a play that has quite a promising start, but it fizzles out with a very weak ending. Most writes tend to start out with an excellent idea, or character. However, they may fail to create a satisfying story from their ideas.

You should only choose a script whose story is complete. An excellent drama should have a distinct beginning, middle part and end.

Consider the simplicity of the location. You should choose dramas that do not need several different props and set locations. These scripts tend to be short; therefore, simple ideas that do not call for multiple locations will help you to communicate better to your audience. In addition, several set changes within a production can make it to lag and boring.

Choose a piece that your viewers will enjoy. Most people are drawn to dramas for their personal reasons. However, when choosing any play, the only thing you should consider is your audience. The spectators will only enjoy a piece that is thrilling, funny, topical, moving thought-provoking or it makes them feel great. Therefore, you should give them a piece that they will not regret paying for.

Consider the resources required for the setting. Most of one-act plays consist of a few characters and maybe just a single scene. It should, therefore, be simple to set up, so that you can erect the stage and pull it down in a very short time. This will also be cheap financially.

Ensure that your pieces fit together. When you combine comedy and tragedy, then audience may fail to capture the essence of the moment. Remember that there are people who only prefer a certain line of themes. They may not be so comfortable with the shift of emotions.

Most people have problems picking the right theatre piece for you. This will ensure that you choose a drama is entertaining and complete. You definitely want your viewers to have a memorable experience. Therefore, you should entirely devote yourself to the selection process for good results.
