If your last school play ended with the Three Wise Men burning down the stable, Sue Cowley’s advice for the big performance will help...
There’s something fantastically rewarding about staging a school show with your pupils. Putting on a play or musical is a brilliant way to boost the profile of drama and music. Your pupils get to build their confidence in front of an audience, and they learn that taking part in live performances is great fun. Of course, parents, carers and family love the chance to see their children ‘in the spotlight’. And the show is a great community event which boosts the public profile of your school.
But getting a school show right can be tricky. You don’t want to cause lots of additional stress and work for staff and pupils; you can’t afford to spend vast amounts of lesson time on rehearsals. You’ll need to make the right choice of show, and ensure that all the children get the opportunity to participate. You’ll also want to make sure that everyone enjoys the event.
Most primaries rightly see the Christmas play as an essential part of the school calendar, but there’s no need to limit yourself to one show a year. It works well to have a second, summer time show, perhaps a musical revue or a talent competition. And don’t forget, not all drama performances have to be large scale, whole school events. As a class teacher you can also prepare a short presentation with your children, and invite parents to come and see an in-class performance. This is a great way to get younger children used to performing and speaking in front of an audience.
