VYT is also encouraging anyone interested in auditioning for our August show, Newsies, to come “Audition 2-for-1” at Annie auditions for both shows.
Little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She is determined to find the parents who abandoned her on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage that is run by the cruel, Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls in the orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil conspiracies, adopts a lovable mutt named Sandy, befriends President Franklin D. Roosevelt and finds a new home and family with billionaire, Oliver Warbucks.
Auditions will be held: April 10th and 11th
Annie is not just a show for young girls!! There is an incredible Ensemble in addition to the orphans.
Registration begins at ~3:30pm, auditions generally begin at 4:15pm after a brief welcome speech that parents are requested to stay for.
