Auditions for LIVVY AND THE FOREST CREATURES for Youth Actors held on Friday June 16th

Please email Miriam Tobin (Director) mirtob@gmail.com to request Audition appointment.

Location of Audition: Maple Valley Creative Arts Council Center 23220 Maple Valley Highway SE, Suite 15, Maple Valley, WA 98038

Synopsis: A housing corporation is getting ready to clear-cut the old-growth forest next to Livvy’s house for a new luxury development, and some forest beings and their city-slicker allies seem to think Livvy can do something about it. She’s heart-broken about her beloved forest, but her dad is working for the corporation! Should she be loyal to the forest, or to her dad?

Audition requirements: Actors will perform a one-minute monologue of their choice and may also read from the script during the audition.
