Here's how to write salable plays, skits, monologues, or docu-dramas from life experiences, social issues, or current events. Write plays/skits using the technique of ethno-playography.
 
Book Description
 
Here's how to write salable plays, skits, monologues, or docu-dramas from life experiences, social issues, or current events. Write plays/skits using the technique of ethno-playography which incorporates traditions, folklore, and ethnography into dramatizing real events.
 
The sample play and monologues portray events as social issues. One true life example for a skit is the scene in the sample play written from first-person point-of-view about a 1964 five-minute train interlude when a male passenger commands the protagonist not to cross between cars while the train is in motion.
 
The passenger stands between the cars next to his wife who says timorously, "Let her go, dear," after the wife notices the young protagonist wears a wedding ring. The protagonist tells him she's pregnant, returning from the john, and needs to get back to her family.
 
Instead, he squeezes her head in a vise-like grip, crushing her between his knee and the wall of the train. He kicks at the base of her spine, yelling stereotypical ethnic epithets while passengers ignore events. After the sample play and three monologues for performance, you will have learned how to write ethnographic dialogue and select appropriate scene settings. Also included are e-interviews with popular fiction writers.
 

Here’s how to research, interview, write, and market ethnographic plays, monologues, or skits, docu-dramas, or

documentaries from life story experiences, highlights, social issues, current events, rites-of-passage, coming-of-age, and

life’s turning points. Or start your own play-based or dramatized life story, news, and social issues or current events-based documentary and/or ancestry-television

business online.

 

Ethno-playography describes the geography and joy of play, song, dance, music, art, writing, oral traditions, poetry, and drama around the world encompassing ethnic customs, folklore, games, life story experiences, reminiscence, and traditions.

 

Learn how to launch ethnographic or multi-cultural family history/genealogy television shows globally on your Web site, produce videos, and publish hobby materials or life stories as a pay-per-view or sponsored free entertainment. Genealogy is the second most popular hobby in the country, with more

than 113 million participants and researchers. Create social, oral, or personal history documentaries highlighting life stories. Or customize vintage maps and family atlases and use copies of them as props in your play or skit. Then put your

drama in a time-capsule to show to future generations. Genealogy and play, monologue, or skit writing may be combined just as genealogy often is combined with journalism.

 

Develop an educational business supplying explorers and investigators in family history, ancestry, or DNA-driven

genealogy as social history. Most people want to know more about their roots, origins, home life, work day, social status,

relationships, migrations, marriages, health, attitudes, customs, folklore, clothing, foods, environment, and the social issues in the news during the time in which their

ancestors lived.

 

You’ll learn how to adapt real life stories into romance novels, skits, plays, monologues, or biographies. You’ll see the

techniques of starting and operating a genealogy journalism and personal history business. Here’s how to interview

individuals or groups and record life experiences as an oral historian.

 

Avoid the pitfalls. Learn how to start a genealogy television network (station) on your Web site. Here’s how to finance,

write scripts, interview, and produce a documentary. Here are the techniques and tools for you to write, publish, and market

family or personal history publications such as books or newsletters on a shoestring budget. Start and operate a business supplying tools, research, training, and entertainment for those interested in genealogy, family history/ancestry,

vintage maps, and current issues in the news—for the hobbyist, researcher, or entrepreneur. For further resources,
