The Arizona Young Actors' Alliance will be going on hiatus for a while. I have a really intense semester of college coming up, so I want to be able to focus my energy there.
Thank you to everyone who has been apart of AYAA for the past two years. None of this would have been remotely possible without. I'd like to specifically shout out Sarah Davidson for being the like Day One of this website. She's been really supportive it's been wonderful. And there have been a ton of you who have been and just know that I'm so so appreciative of this little online community we have been able to cultivate together.
In the mean time, please keep getting out and auditioning for shows and seeing all the wonderful shows going on in the Valley. I know right now Studio 3 is doing auditions for their production of Side Show, which I've never seen done here. If you're interested, auditions are on August 23rd and more information can be found on the Limelight website. Also, another big congratulation to all the NYA winners and Zoni nominees this year.
So I just wanted to sort of say a temporary goodbye (more of a "see you later") to AYAA by doing one more of the thing that kickstarted the website's success: a dream casting.
I reached out to a bunch of people and asked them to dream cast any show. Anything they wanted. And then I did a bunch that I've been wanting to do! Enjoy and see you in a few months! (Probably. Who knows? Life is weird.)
