Hey everyone! So I sent out a form for this post a while ago and had intended on posting it the day after the election. But considering how upset so many of our readers were/still are, it felt inappropriate to post a silly article about politics. So I held off for a few days. However, people put good work into this form so I didn't want to just disregard it.
In addition to this post, the day after the election, I made a playlist called "Remembering to Love." My friends and I at Kenyon have been listening to it a ton these past few days and I wanted to share it with some AYAA readers. It's not all musical theatre songs, but it includes a few so I still felt it appropriate to share it on the site.

Also, I am excited to announce there will be an AYAA Christmas cabaret when I am home in AZ for Christmas Vacation! All the details are not worked out yet, but I wanted to plant the nugget in your brains. :) It will include actors and actresses from the Phoenix Metro area like Bailey Gorman, Bryce Dilullo, Sarah Davidson, Vincent Pugliese, Julian Mendoza, and many many more!
In any case, without further chit chat, I asked a few people to answer some questions about their "musical theatre" government. Some of them chose to use Broadway actors, some chose actors from our area, and some chose a mix. Read on!
