**All-New AYAA Dreamcasting** The ABCs of Dreamcasting: "A"

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the all-new AYAA Dreamcasting. For the past six months, dream casting has been almost exclusively done in the format of one show with a bunch of people creating cast lists for that particular show. I decided it was time for a bit of a format change. A while back, we did a potpourri week, where each person casted their own individual show. Drawing inspiration from that, I created the ABCs of Dreamcasting! Over the next several months, about every week, we will present a letter (or a couple letters of the alphabet) in order to showcase many, many incredible shows.

Also, as we move into this new format of dream casting, I am looking for new people to include in the program. I have been reaching out to some new people to incorporate into the program. I really want to dream casting to reflect the thoughts and ideas of all the theaters in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. However, I can only include people who I know to contact or who reach out to me. So please, please, please, please, please, please: if you or someone you know is interested in doing a dream casting, message me on Facebook or shoot me an e-mail. (Now that we've past the letter A, shows will need to start with between B-Z or be related to Christmas or Halloween.) Right now, I am looking for someone who knows the show Billy Elliot for next week! Any other shows are also welcome!

In any case, welcome to the letter "A"! This week, I asked Anson Romney, Kate Nienstedt, Bryce Dilullo and Audrey Coleman to dream cast a show beginning with the letter "A"! They are casting the shows of American Idiot, Annie, Avenue Q and Aida respectively. This post also includes my cast of Anything Goes.
