It’s summertime, and many communities have performance groups that practice plays to show for people who want evening entertainment. Have you ever been chosen to direct a play? You know the enormous responsibility ahead of you. You must read through the script many times and probably listen to or watch a recording to become familiar with it. You need to figure out how much money you can spend on props and costumes.
Get your dramatic act organized with flash drives
Then, you need to gather people for the performance. Carefully choose those who best fit the main roles. Pick enough people to fill the rest of the parts. You also need stage workers to move props around and costume/makeup workers to make sure everyone is dressed and ready to go out on stage.
You get the picture. Lots of time spent planning, gathering the people who will be involved, and informing them. And you haven’t even started practicing the play or building sets or actually getting props.
Organization is essential to planning a play effectively. That is where custom flash drives come into play for your play. You could buy flash drives preloaded with all the details of your play: a script, lists of props, blueprints and designs for stages, costume patterns, etc. Each person involved in planning could get one of these USB flash drives and use it to plan his part.
The drive could contain documents specially set up with tables for planning play information. One sheet could list the actors and give room for typing costume information and character personality descriptions. Another document could contain the layouts of each scene and list the props necessary.
USB flash drives could help to consolidate information so that everyone involved in the play can access a large collection of data in one handy place and be able to add their own input. When they’re home in the evening and want to work on planning, they can just plug the drive into a USB port on a home computer to view all the info. Actors could also work on their lines on their own computers. Maybe the drive could even contain mp3 clips so they could hear their lines while working on something else.
The USB drives could also be engraved or imprinted with the name of the performance group. Who knows, maybe you could get a separate set of drives to promote the play and the group of performers. You could add a list of play times, pictures, and links to the group’s website. Then you could send the drives to groups that may like to come to the play.
At CFgear, we’ll help you develop a custom preload layout that provides links to everything you might want to see on the flash drive. An attractive professional layout will add credibility to your play group and make people more likely to want to check out the play.
