I Need to Expand the Cast of "Earnest"?!?

Question: I Need to Expand the Cast of "Earnest"!?!!?

OK, so I am directing a production of "The Importance of Being Earnest" as a student-run play for my home school group with my friend Jessica as my assistant director!. Anyway,there are only nine characters in the play and we have way more than that interested in auditioning, and I need to know if there are any ways to expand the cast a little!.
I need help desperately!!

Thanks in advance!! Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not really!. It's kind of a classic play!. People who like it like it specifically for the characters and wordplay!. They find it witty!.!.!.

You can't really expand it a play's cast just because more people are auditioning than can get in!. Just ask the extra people who auditioned if they would like to do costumes or makeup or lighting!. =)Www@QuestionHome@Com
