"Elephant & Piggie's We Are In A Play!" Needs Teens
"Elephant & Piggie's We Are In A Play!" is looking for teenagers. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Ripped from the pages of Mo Willems' beloved, award-winning, best-selling children's books, Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure that is perfect for young audiences. Gerald and Piggie are best, best, "best" (a word Gerald and Piggie made up that means "very best") friends, but Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She's even happier and more excited than usual. That's because she and Gerald are invited to a party hosted by the Squirrels, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible. Rate: $100 stipend.
