SEE "ANNIE" LIKE NEVER BEFORE! A 1930s RADIO SHOW PRESENTED AS A STAGED READING WITH LIVE SOUND EFFECTS!

TWO PERFORMANCES ONLY!
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7 at 7:00 PM
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8 at 3:00 PM

Admission is Free! Donations are Welcome!
 

The complete production of "Annie" will be presented as a staged reading in the style of a 1930s radio broadcast. This unique performance features actors holding scripts with no traditional choreography or physical sets, brining the story to life through live Foley sound effects. To support this creative format, cast members may portray multiple roles, and the production will utilize non-traditional casting.

We are seeking versatile, collaborative performers and creative technical minds to bring this classic story to life in a fresh, imaginative way.

Who:
Because this production relies entirely on vocal storytelling and physical presence without sets, we are looking for dynamic actors with strong vocal range and characterization skills. Most cast members will portray multiple roles.

We practice non-traditional casting and warmly encourage performers of all backgrounds, ethnicities, gender identities, and body types to audition.
We hope you consider audition with your entire family or group of friends. Ages 8+.
