  • 1.  Still Life With Iris

    Posted 09-30-2017 19:33

    I am doing Still Life With Iris this year - a play I found through this group (people talked about so highly of it I decided to read it and fell in love). Any advice? Any traps I should watch out for? I find myself torn in marketing it - what age should I pitch to? And if I pitch to younger kids - how do I also attract my base audience - our fellow high school kids? Is it worth getting the "magic tricks" listed in the script?

    So far I am loving working on it, since I know many of you have done it, thought i would seek some advice.

    Thanks!

    I did this play last year and everyone loved it! It is a children's play that you can market to elementary schools, home school networks, middle schools, etc. I can't think of any traps. The set is fairly simple and open to being very creative. Be aware you'll need 2-3 sets of a table and 3 chairs for their various stages throughout the play. For costumes we tie dyed lab coats and used big, colorful buttons. I could send production pics if you like.

    We collected a bunch of Goodwill/donation coats and had students in the art department paint, embellish, and embroider to customize each coat for each character. I'm happy to send pictures, too. It's a wonderful show, and all ages appreciated it. I think we marketed it for ages 8 and up.

    Hi Stephen,

    I'm currently direction a production of Still Life and I'd love to see any pictures you are willing to share.

    Thank you!
