Hello,
My name is Amanda Dugas and I am interested in auditioning for either the part of Lya or the part of Anna. I have blond hair and brown eyes. I have previous acting experience. In the 1st grade I was in a play called “The City Mouse and the Country Mouse” and I got one of the lead roles as the City Mouse. Last year I was in Shakespeare’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream” as Titania, the Fairy Queen. This year I auditioned for a part in a play called “Scraps! The Ragtime Girl of Oz” and I got the part of the Hip-Hopper. Please get back to me as soon as possible if I fit the part of one of these roles or a role in another movie. Thank you for your time.
