Dear Nurse Ansalong:
I'm having trouble getting a cast together. Do you have any suggestions?

Magenta, there are many different ways to recruit people for your cast.
One way is to create a flyer advertising your cast and place it in
areas, like colleges, clubs, and so on, where possible castmembers will
be. Before you post them, I'd recommend calling the local police to find
out if there are any laws about where you can post flyers and if you
need any special permits. There are also many free bulletin boards and
classifieds sections, like the one on this site, that you can place an
add to. One last thing that you can do is to, if you already have a
theatre and are performing, have your MC say in his monologue that
you're looking for performers and to talk to you after the show. It may
feel like an uphill battle, but, as you get more performers, a cast
always picks up speed and it becomes easier to interest people in
performing with you.
