    For the audition, please prepare the vocal audition song and audition side associated with the character you are MOST interested in playing (one per person). 

    • Here are a few tips to help you prepare:
      • Expect Your Best – Setting high standards for yourself in areas such as pitch and rhythm will help you to perform your very best. 
      • Be Prepared – Take the time to understand what you`re singing, know the song, and stay in character throughout.
      • Be Confident - Be as relaxed as possible, but demonstrate that you have stage presence, and project your voice.
      • Have Fun - This whole process is about having fun, so be proud that you have had the courage to audition and be excited by the knowledge that you will be part of something special, regardless of the role you`re assigned.

    Character Descriptions:

    • ANNIE: Annie is a tough, streetwise urchin who is nevertheless vulnerable when she thinks she might lose what has become most important to her: a newfound "family" who loves her. Although she is at times aggressive or crafty, the audience should never doubt Annie is a friendly and caring child; she will go to any extent to gain the love of a family to which she can belong. A confident actress with strong vocals who can dance/move well. She must be capable of vocal projection without strain as the part is very demanding. 
    • LEAD ORPHANS (Molly, Kate, Tessie, Pepper, July, Duffy): These girls are gritty, neglected and vulnerable, yet basically honest and potentially lovable. The actors portraying them must be able to have mischievous fun with each other as well as "sibling-style" fights. Each student should be able to create and shape her own character. Children auditioning for these roles need to have vocal strength and be visually expressive. All of their blocking and movements must appear motivated and strong. 
    • MISS HANNIGAN: The orphanage matron and is definitely a "has-been." Her distaste for her job and the children that are part of it should be obvious in every line she speaks, every song she sings and every move she makes. A strong actress with an excellent sense of comic timing. 
    • GRACE FARRELL: Grace is a loyal, private secretary to Olive Warbucks - mature, calm, cool and "together." She is classy and businesslike when dealing with Miss Hannigan and Warbucks, yet maternal toward Annie. Grace should seem ready with an answer for just about anything. Each dramatic situation should seem to come "under control" the moment she glides into a scene. A warm, confident actress with strong vocals. 
    • ROOSTER: Rooster is flashy and self-assured. His "moves" should be as smooth as a gambler's, as should be the message he sells in "Easy Street." Rooster and Lily are quite the team -- "team" being the operative word, as the characters play off each other constantly. A charismatic, charming actor with confident vocals who moves well. 
    • LILY: Lily (airhead that she is) is always distracted, although she manages to pick up on any conversation involving money. She never acts as the leader, always bringing up the rear while tripping over her own feet - it is difficult to walk and check your makeup in a compact at the same time! We are looking for a strong performer both vocally and visually with the ability to portray a ditsy blonde.
    • OLIVER WARBUCKS: This may be the most challenging role in the show given he must appear middle-aged, self-assured and confident. At first awkwardly affectionate toward Annie, Oliver Warbucks soon finds himself completely charmed by her. A focused, mature performer with the ability to portray an older character convincingly. 
    • SANDY: In this production, Sandy is played by a human. Sandy is Annie's canine friend and scrappy in her own right. This dog also has to sing.
    • SERVANTS (Drake, Mrs. Greer and Mrs. Pugh): From the moment these characters enter the acting area, their presence, posture and speech should suggest the most fastidious of domestic help. Their heads are always held high and they rarely show their emotions. We are looking for creative performers to create charming, individual characters. 
    • ADDITIONAL ROLES (Bundles McCloskey, Apple Seller, Dogcatcher, Lt. Ward, Cecille, Annette, Punjab, Star-to-Be, Man in Brownstone Window, Usherette, Radio Announcer, Sound Effects Man, Bert Healy, 3 Radio Girls, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Louis Howe, Policeman, Orphans, Servants, New Yorkers) will be cast from the ensemble.
