We can all relate to having big dreams, but what happens when you reach those dreams at 10 years old.... and then grow 2 inches? Child actors on Broadway are thrust into an exciting world of rehearsals, press, and the most extraordinary relationships. What happens when you "age out" and have to "let it all go"? Broadway's original Young Elsa from Frozen the Musical will reveal the raw side of being a child performer and will share some of the ups and downs she faced, and continues to face, in the industry. Ayla shares her story and more November 6 at 7pm at the GreenRoom 42.

After months away from the stage, Ayla returns to The GreenRoom42 for an evening of truths. Singing both Pop and Broadway favorites, Ayla will share some of the many life lessons she learned during her exciting and sometimes heartbreaking Broadway journey and after she left the St. James. Directed by Ellyn Marsh and Musical Direction by Brian Usifer.
