I am about to start rehearsals for pantomime! How can I recruit/engage more adults? ?

Question

I am directing Jack and the Beanstalk with the Iver heath Drama Club and whilst we are popular with Children and teenagers, of both sexes, but Adult numbers have dwindled.

Our audiences remain at a good size and we get coverage in the Slough Observer.

Answer 1

put notices in your local library or in the free press

Answer 2

well sounds like you have a good thing going. yes adults can be very hard to come up upon because of their daily lives including work,looking after their kids etc.so it can be very hard for them to find some spare time. my guess would be to have your rehearsals at maybe a later time say after 6pm and maybe contact some other drama groups explaining your situation and they might be able to pull together a few people and also if you have a little funding maybe use some advertising methods such as the local paper and what not.
