Auditions for ZANNA, DON'T! (High School/College)

Samantha Hammel, Neighbor
Seeking students in grades 9 through age 24"Why is it a joke to ask for the same simple experiences everyone else can take for granted?" It was disturbing to me that even I had been conditioned to laugh at the thought of equality. I felt compelled to include some more sobering thoughts within the goofy exuberance of Zanna's world, as a reminder that there can be profound psychological and societal consequences when popular culture fails to include all of the population." --Tim Acito, Author Welcome to Heartsville High, set in a world where everyone is gay--well, almost everyone! The big-man-on-campus is the chess champion, and the captain of the football team is made cool by being cast as the lead in the school musical. The students write a controversial show called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" about straight people in the military, which becomes the catalyst for a young man and woman to fall in love. Enter Zanna, a magical, musical fairy who, with a wave of his wand, brings true love to one and all!
