Curtain’s Up Theater Company will conduct auditions for a stage version of “Annie, The Musical” from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, June 21.
The auditions will take place in room 2012 of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s Katherine Dunham Hall. No appointment is necessary. Actors and actresses ages 10 and up are sought. There are many adult roles.
Auditions will consist of cold reading from the script and 16 measures of a song of your choice. Bring music. There will be an accompanist. Be prepared for a short dance audition. Dress appropriately.
Callbacks, if necessary, will immediately follow the auditions.
The play will run Aug. 28-31 in SIUE’s Dunham Hall Theater. The popular comic strip heroine will center stage in one of the world’s best-loved musicals. With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone’s hearts, despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City.
She is determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous and magical world of NYC.
In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan’s evil machinations and befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. She finds a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
