I like to do headshots of the leads to go in each program, so figure out which are the 6 or 8 or 9 most important leads-whatever number is right for the play. First and last names of the Leads and the characters they are playing. You will need to collect at least some of these-depending on what you want to include in your program.ġ. As I am not the director or even really that involved in the play itself, this is the information I collect from those in charge. Now that you have answered the preliminary questions, you are ready to gather your information. If you are doing your own logo, then it shouldn't be too difficult! If you purchase the logo version of the templates, you will get the logo but also the pieces of the logo so they can be used in different ways. You can always find things to add as well-like for the Oklahoma! program I found a great picture of growing wheat to go in the background, and some shots of barbed wire that I could use as well. My good friend Henry Ballesteros did the graphic design for all our logos for years, and they really inspire me as to what direction to take with each program. Do we have a logo? While you don't need a lot of artwork, its nice if you at least have a logo or a theme.
It's much cheaper if you do black and white and less pages.Ĥ.

For a 12 page program, full color, it cost about $850. I've found that its sometimes the same price to get the whole thing done in full color rather than black and white. Printing: Before you get too far, get some quotes for printing. Also, give yourself plenty of time to get them! I don't get a single ad myself-the students bring them in! You can see the sponsorship form we use here.ģ.
Will we be getting advertising? If you do advertisements, consider going up to another page to accommodate them. How many pages? Is is 4, 8, or 12? In the beginning I always did 8 page programs (two pages front and back) but lately, with the reputation of how awesome our programs and our plays are, we have easily been able to raise more than enough to pay for printing with ads, so now we do 12 page programs (3 pages front and back.)Ģ. If you plan on altering it for your own needs, there is no need to purchase the logo.įirst of all, you must decide several things before you begin:ġ.
You can purchase the template with or without the logo-if you are doing that specific show, then the logo-which is original artwork-is useful. If you would like to purchase a template for any of these shows, see the links below. I have also included examples of the nine programs I've made for our own school plays.

NOTE: If you want a tutorial on how to create a program from scratch in Word, I have a video tutorial assignment that I sell on my Teachers Pay Teacher site. Below you will find directions on what information to gather, then how to put it together using Photoshop. This can be for plays, musical reviews, dance concerts, etc. In this entry I would like to take you step by step how to make a program.
