I've seen a handful of threads on this from several years ago, but I recently downloaded GF and my teen sim has attended drama club for 6-7 days now, not getting promoted despite meeting all the requirements.
She joined drama club as a teenager, not a child like in some reported cases.

Still have this issue, no mods/cc, mac
Kid can't promote even once
I'm also having this issue; my child sim can't get promoted in Drama Club despite meeting all of the requirements for promotion. No mods or CC.
I am having this problem too. It has been going on a long time, I just hadn't reported it. Haven't played since last September so when I decided to play I deleted the UI Cheats Extension mod, backed up sims 4 folder and then allowed the game to update and did not reinstall the mod. My sims child is stuck at Drama Club level 2 no matter what I do. She has plenty of friends, charisma and most other skills are at max. Though I just realized she does not have the acting skill. Never thought about that. Not sure if she can even get it. I will look. Aside from that, she does the daily drama club task and has gotten the extra kudos for the bonus scenarios that pop up while at drama club. I really do not want to have to cheat to get her through this so I will try for a while longer. She has completed all of the aspirations for her age except the one for doing a slumber party. I've switched and played other households and went back but that doesn't help. As I said, it's been this way for children in other households too and I just gave up and had them do scouting and moved on. I even forget to cheat for them to get it so this is quite frustrating. On this particular child I really need it to work because I'm trying to make her a five star celebrity before she ages up to teen and supposedly drama club was a good way to accomplish that. It might be too late for me to get help because as soon as she finishes her last aspiration and gets her celebrity levels I will be aging her up. Then again, this might take a while because I think there is something going on that is causing her to suddenly not be progressing towards celebrity levels. But, that is a while other post I know.
I have Adventure Awaits and all packs and such that came before that. No mods or cc
While poking around, I went in to freeze the child's fame and then was going to unfreeze it after a time, when I noticed that the ability to increase celebrity level was greyed out and when I highlighted it, it said that her fame was as high as it could go for a child. There really should be something to indicate that in the game menu rather than me thinking stuff is broken. Anyway, I now wonder if the same might be true for the drama club promotions beyond level 2. So I am not going to cheat it and will age her up after getting this last aspiration completed and I will come back to report whether she is then able to get the drama club promotion.
Just realized this thread was for a teen. Apologies!!
My issue was resolved by aging my child up to teen. Hope things get fixed for those of you where it is a real issue rather than a lack of transparency.
