You didn't say how long your production is, but, under the best of circumstances, I don't see how you're going to pull off all of that in four weeks, even if you had a serious group!.

I suggest that you concentrate on the script, whatever you're doing, and do it as a recital!. That eliminates costumes, blocking and so on!. Break a leg!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You should go to their house, talk to them, and tell them that if they don't help, then they will fail and you would pass!. You should also focus on writing your lines, blocking, and rehearsing!. During about 8 or 9 days before the actual performance, get the props, make up, and music ready, so that you can rehearse a couple times with the props before you perform!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe you can arrange them to come to your house after school or on the weekends!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
