In college we had a Midnight Madness event every month where people wrote small sketches and did improv. We didnt charge but it would have been a good fundraiser if we needed it. Of course it started on Midnight hence the name. smile It was always a lot of fun and had a great turnout.

Ask a local community theater if they could have a student night, where your club receives a dollar from every ticket, or something of that nature. It benefits the theater because they can use it in advertising, especially if you promise more advertising for them at your school's productions.

LostGayLover Contraband Material Have kids pay $1 to wear hats.
Or do car washes. Car wash was thrown in a bit back, but quickly rejected for reasons unknown to me... And I like the hats idea, but my theatre teacher would literally kill people. She HATES hats, cell phones, and sunglasses x.x

My orchestra sold candy. We just went to Sams and bought some candy and sold them for a dollar each. We just sold them in our orchestra class since we had maxamized out schoolwide fundraiser allowance earlier that year.
It was the officers that sold it, and we ended up all just pitching in a buy the candy ourselves. We all sacrafice like... five bucks a piece but I mean, it wasn't bad. It worked pretty well though, so there's something to consider.

Some restaurants will also do this as well.

Candy bars, FTW. My band raised about a thousand bucks off those Anthony Thomas fundraising bars. 3nodding
Entertainment Books are also good. Kinda building on the coupon idea...those are like BIG books full of coopins that people just scoop up like mad. I think they sell all over and not just in my area, but I could be wrong. confused

The Masquers, our theatre non-fraternity club, did a dinner theatre. It only ran for one night, but one of our student playwrights wrote a semi-short (about 45 minutes in all) play as a parody of our professors. We cast it within the students, student directed, and we booked most of the theatre building for one night.
It was a traveling murder mystery/dinner theatre, so we charged $12 a ticket - and made $7 dollars profit off of each one after catering. We made about $600 dollars.
Thats just an idea *shrugs*

Sell candy. We did that this year, having everyone carry around cardboard boxes of candy for $1 a candy bar and I quickly racked up $70 on my own. :3

We sell pizza after school. Make a deal with a local place that will sell you them cheap for buying in bulk, and then sell it for a dollar a slice after school. It's how we pay for basically everything.
Our booster club sells school tee-shirts and bumper stickers to help pay for stuff.

Ooh! Ooh! Stole this one from my high school....
How's about a cabaret night? You gather up a lineup of theatre kids performing skits and one acts and songs and you charge like a dollar a seat for admission. Raffle off some things at intermission, perhaps. Auction off the 'best seat in the house' (some comfy armchair right up against the stage).
How well that works depends on the level of school and community support, but it raised a HELL of a lot of money for my school's department.
Also, depending on how strictly your director likes to adhere to copywright laws, you may have to perform things only under fair use....which will suck, but also inspire people to get creative. ^_^
Good luck!

Okay the pizza thing was pretty close to what my school does, only we make them ourselves.
Each week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, we set up a stand and sell "labchos." "Labchos" are nachos sold out of the Lab theatre, get it? rofl (I know, stupid play on words). We buy industrial size amounts of chips, ground beef, and nacho cheese and during the last period of the school day, our teacher heats everything up and after we sell it after the bell rings.
$2.00-Cheese Labchos
$2.50-Beef & Cheese Labchos
$3.00-Supreme Labchos (this includes cheese, beef, salsa, lettuce, sour cream, and jalapenos)
plus this year we sell 16 oz. Gatorades at $1.00
Since our stand is located right beside the band room and it is football season, we usually make about $100-150 a week, depending on the advertisement we make and whether or not the band is practicing. Although we have just started selling this year, so we are anticipating that the popularity will exponentially increase during the coming weeks. This year we are also thinking about starting a teacher delivery system, wher teachers would e-mail our teacher with orders and then directly after school someone would go deliver them to their classrooms. The supplies only cost about $25-50, so we make up the difference a lot. Also we had an idea to sell waffles. We would have like five waffle irons going on at once and then add on toppings and sell them based on the extent of the toppings.

Last year we sold caramel apples at a football game, and our choir does a lot of selling things at football games. Our band has band cards, which is where they get a bunch of local businesses to agree to give a certain discount to customers who have a band card. The band charges $10 (it used to be $5) for a card, which is how they get money from it. They're good for a year, then the next year you buy a new one.
If you could do a theatre card, that would probably be the best, since the purchasers make their money back, so they love to buy them.
