AYAA Dreamcasting: Shrek

It's a big, bright beautiful dream casting! Welcome to this week's dreamcasting! Shrek is like this crazy favorite musical among all the band kids at my high school and is definitely one of the most popular musicals of the moment. Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek tells the story of a grumpy old ogre who finds himself on a journey with a loud-mouth donkey to save a princess from a fire-breathing dragon.


On AYAA, I am running dreamcasting two ways:

Self-submitted: If you have a dream cast for a show, send it to me at mackenna.azyoungactors@gmail.com or via Facebook. MUST BE WITH VALLEY ACTORS, NOT BROADWAY HUMANS.
Facilitated by me: I will be reaching out to 4-5 actors/actresses periodically. (I will also be participating from time to time) I will give each of them the same show and see the diverse ways they cast the show. I will only be able to ask you if you are friends with me on my personal Facebook. Same thing, it will be with Valley actors, not people on Broadway.

Today, I present to you one of the "Facilitated by me" types of dream casting. I reached out to a bunch different young actors in the Valley ) --  Bryce DiLullo, Tiana Marks, Audrey Coleman, Victoria Vredevoogd -- and asked them to dream cast Wicked. Their responses and mine are below.
