Blooming talent
On Sunday, April 26, at The FARM Institute, ArtFarm Enterprises held auditions for their inaugural production, "Kim and Delia," an original play by Islander and ArtFarm cofounder Brian Ditchfield. The producers were auditioning actors between the ages of 10 and 12 to play the lead role of Kim, in addition to several ensemble roles. It was a perfect day to display local talent, and Islanders came out in force, making a difficult choice for the producers.
