Today is Audrey’s sixth birthday! I could think of nothing better than sharing the first play she ever wrote! She wrote this play last year, right before her fifth birthday. Last year with San Francisco Theater Pub’s PUB FROM ANOTHER WORLD, Audrey Scare People Play came to life! You can watch the video of that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L28OHv7_Ec&hd=1.
Her video is right after the intro, it starts at the 4:10 mark.
Enjoy!
