All production teams are required to do step one. After that, find your team name and then proceed to follow the directions for it. You will use the link provided below to do your research.
1. Read the Act and Scenes that you are responsible for.
Writers:
2. Re-write the material as a script. You can change the way
things are worded, but the content must stay the same. In other words, if
Caesar is in the town square giving a speech, that speech can be re-written in
your own words, but it must take place in the town square.
3. Make sure you make note of any famous quotes that come from the play. Although you are re-writing the script, you must make sure you incorporate those quotes which make the play noticeably Julius Caesar.

Note** If Caesar is in a knife fight, he must stay in a
knife fight, you cannot write RPG’s into the script.
4. You will need to
provide the costume designers a list of characters you are writing into the
script. Remember, as the writers you are responsible for making sure your
vision is clear to all other members of the production (set designers, costume
designers, directors and actors).
Set Designers
2. Review the
material and begin to get a list together of the setting and any props needed to
make the scene come to life
Note** As set designer you are responsible for props as well
as any backdrops. Remember you have to be able to create everything
Costume Designers
2. Review the material and begin to get a list together of
the various characters and what they would be wearing during the scenes.
Note** You will need to get a list of characters from the
writers to know who you have to outfit.
Directors
2. Begin to gather ideas on how you will make the scenes
come to life. You need to have clear ideas that you can convey with the rest of
the production crew.
Note** You will have to work closely with the writers and the
actors to make everything happen.
Actors
2. Review the character analysis of all of the primary
characters of the play. It is important that you understand each person very
well because you may be asked to play one of them.
Note** Many famous actors often talk about “getting into
character.” This means, becoming the character that they are playing. Try
imagining yourself as Caesar or Brutus or any other character. How would you
portray the character?
