Audition For Elephant and Piggie

BE PART OF THE STORY 

Back for its seventh year, the Youth Artist Project provides an opportunity for youth performers to shine onstage! Open to volunteers ages 8-17, this all-youth cast—under the leadership of a team of high school artists—has the opportunity to share the delightful adventures Of Elephant And Piggie’s We Are In A Play Jr.And friends  with preschool and elementary-aged audiences. This production provides a wonderful opportunity for a first audition or onstage experience OR returning youth actor. The after school rehearsal period is convenient with a 4-6pm timeframe and tech is over by 7:30pm (so no super late nights!), and the joy of performing for full houses of student matinee audiences is a delightfully memorable experience!
