Amatuer Theatre HELP!
Wed, 9 Jan 2008, 07:01 pmI 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!!
Keep on keeping on.

You do have to be careful about things like insurance though, if there is a school holiday program in town then tap into that and maybe you'll be covered by there insurance and stuff.
Don't give up. I've done the same as you on several occasions just sat there with all my friends as no one turned up to an audition. It can be discouraging I know.
Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
