Most people in theatre education are beginning to see that classroom drama can start with easy plays and go to the stage
I am currently directing a main-stage play at my kids' middle school. The play is a one act stageplay that is not only great for child audiences, but family audiences, as well. I have found that the simple stageplay, Wooing Wed Widing Hood, not only makes an excellent school play but a play for our community. It is an excellent fund raising source because it has a lot of cast members and a lot of appeal to the community. The play, which started as a classroom theatre playscript, became a show that has been dozens of times. I suggest you check it out. I have!
This playscript went from classroom comedy to the stage! Wise Prince Jason, Strong Prince Justin and ordinary Loud Prince Frank all want to woo Little Red Riding Hood, who has two sisters, Big Green Riding Hood and Medium Purple Riding Hood.
