If you are not doing the ...'s leading to each name, you will have to
start a new layer after you finish typing the characters. This layer
has to start directly across from where you started the last layer. Be
sure to start it near the middle so that you have room to type longer
names. Edit it so that it aligns not left but right. Then type out the
names of the actors who play the character directly across from
their name.
Check this over. Read it through to check for errors in spelling, and
then read it again, comparing it word for word against the list you
acquired. Check again that all the characters are there, and check
another time that all the cast is there. Compare the cast page you
have to the cast page in the script, and then compare the cast page
in the script to the characters on your image. This seems
excessive, but it must be done. I checked my cast page over again
and again, and I thought it was good. Turns out I completely forgot
a character.
Save this page with the extension of your program (For example,
GIMP is: .xcf).
Save this page again with the extension you wish to use (.jpg, .gif,
.png, etc.).
Print out the cast page and show it to a few people in charge. After
this, get the entire cast to check it over. The cast will have the best
eye, as they are the ones on the page and they'll notice if their
name or character is misspelled or missing.
If it all passes approval, you are done with the cast page!

6. Thank You's. You are half way finished designing your playbill. Now it's
time to complete the inside by working on the Thank You's.
o First find out who you have to thank. Usually, you thank the actors,
choreographers, technical crew, the director and co-director, the
place which you are performing in, the place you practiced in
(which sometimes the same place you perform), and, finally, the
audience. Most likely your thank you will be slightly different. You
have to thank the actors and (if it applies) the people who drove
them. You must thank people who handled the technical aspects
and those who designed the set. The director, of course, and
anyone else who worked with them (Co-director, stage director,
DRAFT
etc.). The place you practiced at and performed, as well as where
you got your costumes. If it applies, who choreographed the play
and who wrote the music. Finally, your audience, because really,

Open your graphics program, and create a new image with the
dimensions: 612 x 792. Make the background white, then create a
new transparent layer.
Make the text layer. If you want consistency, you'll have the same
font and size as you had on the cast and autographs page, but it
