Birmingham, MI, August 16, 2011— Project DayDream is pleased to announce auditions for our winter musical—ANNIE! Auditions for students age 6-20 will be held September 15 & 16, 2011 at Seaholm High School in Birmingham. Auditions are by appointment only.
Based on the classic comic strip "Little Orphan Annie", this heartwarming musical is the story of a spunky Depression-era orphan determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and finds a new family and home with billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
In addition to these well-known iconic roles there are also a large number of small speaking roles for the ensemble including the servants in the Warbucks mansion, members of the Presidential Cabinet, and several featured singing roles.
A large cast of all ages is needed and those with little experience are welcomed and encouraged to audition. At auditions we are looking for children and adults who have a lot of energy and focus, not necessarily a polished show ready performance!
