    To write for the theatre you need to know about theatre. Ideas are easy to come by. Examine your background, interest, and beliefs. Examine the world around you. Exercises can help you come up with ideas. Choose the audience you want to reach and write to that audience. To learn to write dialogue listen to and record everyday conversations. Dialogue should sound like ordinary conversations but has more direction. 
    Know as much as you can about your central characters. Do a character analysis. Choose the character traits to emphasize. A character should come across as both typical and individual. Most plays have a plot, which involves conflict between the protagonist and the antagonist. The parts of a plot are: inciting incident, rising action, turning point, climax, and falling action. Other types of organization for a play are circular and thematic. 
    Before starting to write, you need to develop a central idea. Plays exist for a number of reasons—entertainment, to bring attention to something, and to teach. You need to decide what you want to accomplish. It’s easier to gain an audience’s interest if you start with a theme they agree with. 
    A play needs a sense of universality. A play should be unified, but it also needs contrast. Since theatre is a collaborative art, the director, actor, and designers may see the different facets differently than you do. It’s not difficult to have a well-written produced. Possible markets are schools, organizations, and professional theatre. Finished plays have to follow a particular format.

    Juz 30, lebih dikenal sebagai Juz ‘Amma (جز عمّ‎), merupakan bagian Juz yang terakhir dalam Kitab Suci Al-Quran. Juz ini ditandai dengan kata pertama عم ('amma) pada surah An-Naba' ayat satu dan berakhir dalam Surah An-Naas ayat 6. Sebagian besar surah dalam juz ini adalah surah-surah pendek dari surah yang turun di Kota Suci Mekkah. Beberapa surah yang turun di Kota Suci Madinah hanya Surah Al-Bayyinah, Az-Zalzalah, dan An-Nasr.Pembacaan Kitab Suci Al-Quran pada bagian ini banyak dilakukan, beberapa surah pendek yang mudah dihafal berada dalam deretan terakhir bagian belakang dari Juz, sekaligus bagian belakang dan terakhir dari Kitab Suci Al-Quran. 
     
    Surah dengan ayat terbanyak dalam surah ini adalah Surah An-Nazi’at dengan 46 ayat, diikuti Surah 'Abasa dengan 42 ayat, dan Surah An-Naba' dengan jumlah 40 ayat. Surah terpendek dalam Alquran juga terdapat dalam bagian juz ini, yakni Surah Al-Kausar dengan jumlah 3 ayat. Dalam pengkhataman Kitab Suci Al-Quran, Juz 30 dibaca pada hari ke tiga puluh sesuai dengan nomor juz.Selain di baca pada hari terakhir di akhir bulan dalam pengkhataman, kebanyakan imam dalam salat baik wajib (Subuh, Magrib, dan Isya) maupun sunnah secara berjamaah (Tarawih atau Witir) membacakan ayat-ayat dalam Juz ini setelah pembacaan Surah Al-Fatihah. 
     
    Dalam tradisi rakyat Indonesia, Juz 30 atau Juz ‘Amma lebih banyak diketahui dari kitab yang disusun secara tunggal atau Alquran dalam buku khusus yang hanya menuliskan surah-surah terakhir dalam Juz 30.Kini, kitab-kitab tunggal Juz ‘Amma dalam pendidikan dan pembelajaran Alquran kebanyakan digunakan dalam tahap kedua dalam belajar membaca Kitab Suci Al-Quran, setelah fase pengenalan huruf Hijaiyah melalui metode Iqra atau metode serupa lainnya sebelum mempelajari dan membacakan Alquran dengan jumlah Juz yang lengkap. Urutan nomor surah Alquran yang tercantum adalah surah 78 hingga 114. 
     
    A juzʼ (literally meaning "part") is one of thirty parts of varying lengths into which the Quran is divided. Division into juz has no relevance to the meaning of the Quran and anyone can start reading from anywhere in the Quran. During medieval times, when it was too costly for most Muslims to purchase a manuscript, copies of the Quran were kept in mosques and made accessible to people; these copies frequently took the form of a series of thirty parts (juz'). 
     
    Some use these divisions to facilitate recitation of the Quran in a month—such as during Ramadan, when the entire Quran is recited in the Tarawih prayers, usually one juz a night. The most commonly memorized juz is juzʾ amma, which is the 30th juz and contains chapters (sura) 78 through 114, most of the shortest chapters of the Quran. Juzʾ amma is named after the 1st word of the 30th chapter (chapter 78).
