A step show is always exciting...if all 10 have rhythm

Just think of something that will be fun or useful and people will spent a lot of time on.\n\nThink of what new thing you would like to have.

thats cool, you can do all sorts of stuff, you can have a barbaque pit and roast a (pig, turkey, chicken) whichever you like.  you could have a pinata of a hula girl or coconut tree, you could bobb for pinnapple rings, you could make individual lays for your friends, have a hula dance,

Sign up as an extra, so you can be seen on the set as well as learn how to behave in front of as well as behind the camera.\n\nJoin the local theater production and dance company, and PARTICIPATE frequently!

I think you have the right idea.  Just think about who's going to be in the audience, and address them.\n\n"Good evening students, parents, teachers, and distinguished guests..." or whatever.

It would help to have more info to answer the question with. However, think about a big "PR" type event. It doesn't have to be practical, it just has to be something that gets the cameras there.\n\nA new soap? Set up showers in the mall and see who can sing best in the shower. \n\nTake whatever your product is and think about using it in a wacky way. An electric dog polisher. A fur lined sink. \n\nEventually, bring yourself back to earth with something you can actually pull off. \n\nDon't forget to have fun. \n\nRex

I have a different twist on the first answer. \n\nWe play the gift exchange at our work Christmas party and have a $10 limit. In your situation being close friends you could always up the dollar amount and possibly have a theme. For example, have a Christmas quote and everyone has to buy something that relates to the quote.\n\nEveryone then randomly picks a number (1-15). The first person picks a  gift from the table. The second person also chooses a gift from the table and then can either keep theirs or switch it for number 1's gift. The third person can switch theirs for either number 1 or number 2's gift and so on. All gifts remain unopened until all 15 people have a gift. \n\nIt's fun to see what gifts are the most popular simply going by their size and shape and then opening it to see what it really is.

Go to a Phil and Friends Show.\nPlenty of other festivals attract these people too.

memorize them in sets of 10, and tell them to someone 15 times, you'll have 30 sets, and it would workd great!

I would include a few "social games" where people can interact and talk. (This usually leads to laughter and in turn fun).\n \nTry these website.

Add a dance floor, some flashy lights, and a stage for a band or DJ. Have a Ladies Nigh (usually Thursday Nights) and a 2 for 1 night (Buy 1 mixed drink, get second one free). Karaoke is also a hit. Set up Karaoke by stage. Once a month have a Theme night. Decorate for major holidays, and free green beer on St. Patricks day. Tropical or Strawberry scented atmosphere makes the mood lighter, then people drink more and are friendlier to each other (less bar fights). Hope some of this helps.

For my daughter we had a pizza/karaoke/slumber party and everyone had a great time. It was the funnest party she ever had. You could also do a throwback party like a 50's sock hop complete with burgers and milkshakes and show the movie Grease, or a 70's hippie party or disco and have veryone come in costume, or an 80's rocker party.

check your newspaper.  sometimes in the classifieds or entertainment sections there are ads for extras, or open auditions.  I think that might be a good way to get started....

Local/community theater is a good idea. It'll give her an idea of just how hard acting (and theater) is. I've helped the redhead a few times with shows her company has put on. It's no cakewalk.
