AYAA Dream Season Project

Hey, everyone! About a month ago, I contacted a ton of young actors about being a part of a special project for AYAA. In this project, I asked them to create a dream season for a fictitious theatre. This stemmed from a Facebook tag trend I originated a few years ago where I had people create dreams seasons and then tag five friends to encourage them to create their own. I wanted to bring this same concept to AYAA.

The rules: 
1) The name of the imaginary theatre
2) The names of all the shows
         **VERY IMPORTANT: Please only picked shows that can be licensed. They be restricted licenses (like Mamma Mia) but they cannot be shows that cannot be licensed at all (like Wonderland, unfortunately.) The point of this is to show theatres near us what shows kids our age want to audition for.
       **You can pick anywhere from 4 to 12 shows
3) The dates the shows would run
4) The age range for the cast (Welcome to do shows with adults or just youth productions!)

I also noted they could include what they would like their role in the production to be.

Here are their responses!
