I need your help! I am 17, the holidays have been boring so i decided to set up an amatuer theatre in my hometown. My town consists of 205 people, indeed very small, i have no idea how many would be interested in it. Ive put flyers and posters out saying that there will be auditions for a show on this friday for towns folk. the aim date is about 4 weeks away, hopefully we can make in it time! I was hoping, seeing as you all are entertainers in this field like me, some more experienced and knowledged than myself, do you have any suggestions, ideas, or even a great script that we can use? The fist show will be based on 'The Tell-Tale Heart', but in other holidays, if we get a good turn out this time, i would like to put on more shows. please any suggestions! ideas or anything!! thank you so much!!

Venue is no problem, i have one already, first meeting wouldnt be much for auditions, i will be lucky if i had to choose between 2 people for one role. we will be starting to learn the lines then too. Thats why i only have a month, its a school holiday thing, its the only time most people have off from work and school. I beleive its possible, learning a play like this in a short time isnt a challenge, i went to a camp one holidays, we had to act in a drama every night for 10 days, but we got the script for that night that morning. We were given 2-4 hours re-hearsal and not much more time of our own because we were hosting other activities, the play went smoothly =D the first one im doing here is smaller than the ones we did each night there. I have great faith =) as for the pub idea, it is good, they have a beer garden that under 18's are allowed to go, inside the actuall bar is VERY cramped. But its a good idea, i have a venue for this first play, but in the future, that actually sounds better! Thanks!! ^^ Rannon ~ Who was the guy who defined the line between normal and abnormal? i wish to ask him something....
