About us
We are Natasha, Abigail and Mila! Three Grade 9 girls who have started the Youth Art Council with the help of ArtZone, looking for ways to bring drama and other art opportunities to the kids of our community!
Event information
This year we are putting on a play with kids of Sun Peaks from Grades 5 and up.
The play is about nursery toys in a workplace setting, It is full of fun humor for all to enjoy! We are looking for 6 actors (Script says 3 male, 3 female, though genders might have to be changed to account for who auditions). All roles are leads, and those casted are expected to memorize lines over the rehearsal period. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a role for everyone who auditions. If casted, Actors will learn more about the theater environment, production process and what it means to perform in front of an audience.
Auditions will be held over videos submissions-More details below.
Rehearsals will begin February 7th from 1-3pm and will continue every Friday with a 2 week spring break exception. Performance will take place in the Conference center on April 27th, 2025. Anyone auditioning MUST be available for full day rehearsals/dress rehearsals on the 25th, 26th and 27th.

Audition Monologue:
“In the library at my junior high they have these huge computer monitors. The size of small refrigerators. Three-feet high some of them. The most beautiful screen savers you’ll ever see. Mountains. Waterfalls. Pictures of magic cities. Colors that haven’t even been invented yet. If you stand next to the hard drives and listen real close you can hear them singing. Like hummingbirds. A gazillion megahertz of ram just whirling away. Sometimes I go real early in the morning. When nobody’s there. And I just listen. I listen for a while and then for some reason I hug each monitor. One by one. There’s like fifty of them. I hug each one and I get a little part of that song inside me. It’s the most beautiful way to start the day. I think those birds on the rhinos are so cool. In the library, there’s this one African Grassland screen saver with little birds. They ride around on this elephant and eat the bugs off its back. There’s a lion, too, but he doesn’t do anything. The elephant walks around and drinks water out of the wallows. That’s where the rhinos play with their kids.”
