WHY
IS THIS PLAY BEST FOR YOUR SCHOOL?
Written
especially for young people to perform.
While you may
find large cast plays from other publishers, most of those were
originally written for adults or
professional actors to
perform. They often contain difficult dialogue, unfamiliar or
complex language, and speeches too long for young children to
memorize. They may even contain jokes, innuendos and subject matter
that may not be appropriate for children.
Easy
to understand and memorize.
Dialogue is
simple, fresh, quick and humorous, keeping the action flowing without
stops and starts between scenes. This keeps young people and young
audiences engaged throughout the performance - no awkward pauses, no
dead-time, no wiggles!
Everyone
participates!
All children
are involved throughout the performance. This builds confidence,
promotes team spirit and eliminates rehearsal rowdiness. The audience
is often asked to join in the fun, and action often spills into the
aisles! All of our SCHOOL PLAYS give suggestions on how to divide up
large parts (such as Snow White or Cinderella) among several
performers so that no one child is the "star".
Familiar
stories with upbeat endings.
The story line
stays as close as possible to the familiar story the kids already
know. While some authors feel the need to "improve"
the story, our SCHOOL PLAYS stay as close to the familiar narrative
as possible, making it easier for children - and your audience - to understand.
Feel
free to edit! Go ahead and tape it!
Most publishers
insist that no changes may be made to their scripts. We know
that your
goal is to engage every child in the most meaningful way and that
your needs are unique. Cut, eliminate, re-assign lines, or add
as much as you like! Also, there are no restrictions on video
tapes. Parents want a tape or DVD to remember their child's big
moment. Go ahead and tape away!

Kathryn Schultz Miller
is one the most prolific and most produced playwrights for
children. Her script, A THOUSAND CRANES, won the National
Endowment for the Arts Playwright Award (and countless others) at a
time when plays for children were not considered serious works. Now,
many of her published scripts are considered classics for young
audiences. When teachers voiced their need for great plays that
kids can perform Ms. Miller responded with ArtReach’s School
Plays: “I never dreamed I’d write for anyone other
than professionals. But writing for child performers has been
the most profound and rewarding experience of my life”. |

A
NOTE FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT
In
the past few years we've seen a
tremendous increase of confidence in the teachers we hear from.
Most are finding it easier to let the process flow and worry less
about the final product. I firmly believe that the experience
will be best for all when you keep a few things in mind:
Free
yourself from worry about
whether or not it's "good". No one is paying big
ticket prices; no one expects a Broadway success. The key to
making this project meaningful is to put the emphasis on process;
realize that rehearsal and practice are as much a part of the
experience as the actual performance. Encourage fun and you
will free the children from embarrassment and stress. If the
kids can't learn the lines let them carry a script or use their own
words to convey the character's message. If they seem to wander
the stage, let them explore where they want to go - they might
surprise you with a wonderful idea. In every aspect of the
process give them the wings to create and think. Give them a
comfortable, supportive place to go and their confidence and
self-expression will soar!
Above
all else, make sure you are
having fun. If you've never directed a play before, don't
worry. It's all just pretend -- you can't do it wrong!
The quality of your experience is every bit as important as that of
the children. You need the joy of self-expression too, that
doesn't go away when we grow up. So give yourself a break.
And when all else fails, laugh!
Thank
you so much for choosing Snow
White.
I hope you and your young friends have as much fun performing this
play as I did writing it.

SCRIPT SAMPLE

Returning
home from a day at the mines, the Seven Dwarfs make an amazing discovery!
(Script
pages 9-10) |
CAPTAIN: Shiver me
timbers, mates!
(CAPTAIN is at the head of the
line, He stops suddenly. All DWARFS run into each other like
dominos. CHORUS can make a funny sound for this bit.)
NIN-COM-POOP: What's
that you see?
WALL-FLOWER: It's a
light out yonder!
A-CHOO: It's coming
from our window!
(They all look at each other, wide-eyed.)
SNORES-A-LOT: Who
could it be?
GIGGLE-TOES: Varmints!
CAPTAIN: Pirates!
SOUR-PUSS: Rascals!
CAPTAIN: All hands
on deck! We'll sneak up from the starboard side and ambush
em'. Follow me!
(They stay in line and tiptoe
with all feet moving together. They pantomime opening the
door. CAPTAIN is at the front and surveys the scene.)
(Whispering.) Thar'
she blows, boys!
(DWARFS ALL gasp. They
tiptoe in together, carefully approach the bench where SNOW WHITE is
sleeping. As the CAPTAIN counts the DWARFS raise their axes.)
On the count of three.
ALL DWARFS: One... Two...
SNOW WHITE: (Turns
in her sleep.) Ah, me...
(The DWARFS freeze with their
axes held high.)
NIN-COM-POOP: That
ain't no varmint.
WALL-FLOWER: It
sounded more like a... (He's embarrassed to say it.)
Like a... awe, gee...
GIGGLE-TOES: Like a lady!
(They gasp. CAPTAIN
takes the blanket from SNOW WHITE'S head. They all gasp again.)
A-CHOO: She's beautiful!
SNORES-A-LOT: Can we
keep her?
SOUR-PUSS: Certainly
not! No dogs, no pets, no ladies!
