Auditions for LIVVY & THE FOREST CREATURES, an eco-fable for young audiences

Maple Valley Arts Council

About the project and the company

Maple Valley Creative Arts Council presents LIVVY AND THE FOREST CREATURES, an original eco-fable in one-act for young audiences by Margaret O’Donnell and directed by Miriam BC Tobin.

 

Here’s a 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?

 

Here’s a sample of the script.
