Step 3 Performing After learning the two plays, we know a play should contain script, director, actors/ actresses and setting. Then if we are going to act out one of the plays above, we have four steps to follow:

1.

Planning: Which play will you choose? Who will be the actors/ actresses? Who will be the director? Who will find props? Who will make costumes?

2.

Preparing Actors and actresses should recite all their lines. All props needed should be found. All costumes needed should be made. Director should be in charge of all things related to the play.

3.

Producing Practice your play before performing to the classmates.

4.

Presenting T tells the other students to watch the performance carefully, while some are performing. And in the end they have to decide which group’s performance is the best, who is the best actor, who is the best actress and who is the best director. After the performance is over, some awards should be given to the winners. Step 4
