Step 1 Find the material you want to preform; a play, skits, festival, music or a mixture Step 2 Find support - a place to preform and permission to do so. If your school is unresponsive, ask friends' parents. If you still cannot get support, consider asking a park official and/or similar venues like the zoo, the library or sport venues. Step 3 Audition Step 4 If you don't have a budget, consider talking to local business and in exchange for advertising if they would be willing to support the performance. If it is not possible or not enough, ask the school if you can have a fund raiser. Ask the librarian to help you write a proposal and apply for an Arts grant (this must be done well in advance!) Step 5 Create costumes and stage material Step 6 Rehearsals (at least a week) Step 7 Costume rehearsal (night before) Step 8 Opening night (record for future) #selfmadeactor
