AYAA Dreamcasting: Heathers

Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to the last dream casting of this format! Next Saturday, there will be
another dreamcasting, but it will be in a different format. Speaking of which, two things:

1) I am looking for people who know something about any of the following shows to be involved in the next batch of dreamcastings: All Shook Up, Billy Elliot, Chess, 42nd Street, Fiddler on the Roof, Hair, Bat Boy, Music Man, Peter and the Starcatcher, White Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (play or musical), Romeo and Juliet (play), South Pacific, title of show, and Zombie Prom. You can e-mail me at mackenna.azyoungactors@gmail.com or message me of Facebook.

2) Recently, I've heard murmurs about people feeling the dreamcastings are negative because there is a tendency for them to be comprised of a similar group of people. Now, there are people who frequently pop up, but there is a simple reason for that: the people willing to dreamcast for me. I am so so so grateful to everyone who has dreamcasted for me these past seven months. Obviously, they can only pull from people they know and have seen perform. They can't cast people they know nothing about. Now, if you're someone who thinks this is a problem, instead of being unsettled by it, there is a quick and simple solution: dream cast. I have always made the offer to let anyone dream cast and I constantly post on my and the AYAA Facebook page looking for people. If you have a show (or a few shows!) you would like to dream cast, send me a message or an e-mail and we will work it out.

Anyway, without further ado! I am proud to present this week's dreamcasting of Heathers, a teen black comedy based on the 80s movie of the same name. We had almost 20 people submit a cast list for Heathers! (It's obviously still a pretty in musical even though it closed Off-Broadway a while back.) So thank you to Bailey Gorman, Payton Bioletto, Becca Webb, Sam Primack, Jake Bonar, Maria Boas, Kate Nienstedt, Kerry Galcik, Thea Eigo, Lauren Anderson, Addison Bowman, Carter Palumbo, Connor Baker, Ethan Shanker, Jasmine Bassham, Steven Enriquez, Julian Mendoza, Paige Gagliardi and Sophia Bavishi for casting Heathers this week!
