Amatuer Theatre HELP!

Glad to hear you're already talking to everyone - that's the best way to do it!! Though you're underage, have you thought about doing a pub show? It's a good way to get in front of people. (Perhaps more useful when you turn 18 ;) ) Feel free to prove me wrong about 1 month not being long enough. I'd be very happy to hear it! However, from experience, a speedy show takes anywhere from two to four months to produce. Coordinating other people is the hardest part, because most of your participants will have other commitments - how do you structure your show? First meeting you hold auditions. That's week one spent. Week two is getting everyone learning lines and doing blocking and basic rehearsal. By week four you have to have all of that done, marketing done, venue organised, etc. And if people are working or studying, you may only get to rehearse on weekends, over that four week period. It's a very tight squeeze. Do contact that amateur group - even if they are far away, a phone call makes them closer, and advice is the best thing you can have. There are plenty of other people on this site, so if you want to ask more about how to create a show in a small town, just ask!
