At our last show, we held a silent auction. We had local businesses donate things to bid on and we also had the entire cast sign posters and songbooks. I know we brought in a ton of revenue that way.

What about the Flamangoing someone's lawn? Ever hear of it?
You go to A local Family(Someone close to the school/Drama club) and You put like 20 Pink Flamingos in their yard with a ransom note on the door that says "You have been Flamingoed. Leave $20.00 in an envolope in your male box tonight with an adress of someone you want to get flamingoed and we will take them" You need to commit time to this but it become really funny and you get people talking.
Today was our school's mayday and the Thespians decided to do a quiditch game...that's right, like the one from Harry Potter...
It was a DISASTER! Thankfully I wasnt involved in the decision process lol, but still wow...only 8 people actually played...everything broke at some point...and we made all of maybe 20 dollars, minus how much they spent for the balsa wood used to make the goals.
We did a CABARET NIGHT to raise money for our production of ANYTHING GOES and we raised 1,000 dollars. Not alot, but we got a good lighting system and stuff through that and Board of Education backing.
