Welcome to open auditions for The Flower Girl, written and directed by H. Sven Fernandez. (Please note that you must book an audition time in order to participate.)The Flower Girl is a bittersweet story about how we lose ourselves in the modern world, and how ultimately we can find ourselves again by remembering all those things that we have lost along the way.
From the streets of a drab city to the multi-colour world of the circus, The Flower Girl will take you on an incredible journey – a journey back to yourself and who you once were.
