Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
send out flyers or put up posters that say something exciting, like

"have you always wanted to be in the spotlight!? ever felt like you had a talent you wanted t oshare!? join drama club! call: (your number)"

ppl who are interested will call you and you can keep theier names and give them to your teacher!.


have fun! i LOVE acting! i have been doing plays for 8 years! Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm in theatre!. First thing - and I don't mean to sound nasty or condescending - but learn to speak and write the English language!. Language is the core of theatre and you need to be able to use it correctly and with precision!.

Second - read plays!. The literature of theatre is the language of the craft and people will expect you to know the basic literature!. If a director at an audition says, "This character is like Olivia in 12th Night" and you don't know what he is talking about - you won't get the part!.

Finally - best way to start a theatre group is to find a book of scenes and put up a sign inviting people to come together!. Don't talk about starting the club - act as though the club exists and advertise a scene reading session!. Even if only one or two show up, start working on scenes!. Be honest with one another - critique your performances!. Take turns directing each other!. If those who take part have fun, they'll talk to others and soon you'll have a lot of people!.

Hey! Congratulations on doing this!

Options:

1) If you have homeroom announcements or anything like that ask if every teacher/loudspeaker could make an announcement about the start of the drama club!.

2) You should definitely encourage ALL of your friends to join and have them tell people about it!.

3) Hang up BRIGHT, BIG posters in the hallways

4) If you have a school newsletter or newspaper ask if they could add an article or announcement about your club!.

5) have your english teacher tell her other students about it

If you do all of this you may even have more than 25 kids!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think she wants to see how both of you are really into actress job!. If you can do it by finding 15-25 students and form a drama club!. Then this is really show you something of how confident and how much you love drama!. Good luck!.

If I was there, I will be most probably joining your club!. Why don't you create a poster, persuading students of how fun/benefit this club is!?!?

When I wanted to learn to play the violin , I was told I would have to forget about activities after school , that I would have to practice , practice , practice !. The same applies to acting !. If you work really hard , you may just be a future Oscar winner !. My teacher , Mister Leblanc , was very hard on me , and it paid off !. The same should happen to you !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Seek the help of your school editor to have your request published!. It will also help if you make a room-to room campaign!. But be sure that you know what to say and that the requirements are clear to those potentials recruits!. Before you do this, meet with your teachers to lend you a hand by allowing you to speak before their respective classes!.

Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Put up ads around school, put it in a school paper!. Try the choir or speech clubs!. They tend to attract the type of people who are interested in drama!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

You could make posters, and you could place an ad on the school website!. You could hand out flyers!.
Or, you could just talk to kids you know and try to get them interested!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
