The summer show at Edge Arts and Dance in North City will be ANNIE JR!

We are taking this summer to focus on performers age 7 through 18; all roles for ANNIE JR will be played by young performers and is a great opportunity for kids to play adult roles they wouldn't normally be able to play.

Rehearsals will start in May and will continue through August, (see rehearsal calendar). If your performer cannot make certain rehearsals, this is does NOT mean they cannot participate in the show or cannot receive a large part. We will examine all rehearsal conflicts when casting.

Audition information

Students should prepare one song, not to exceed 2 minutes in length, from a musical or musical movie. Please bring sheet music in your key or a track on a phone/ mp3 player. Students also need to prepare a monologue not to exceed 2 minutes in length.

About Annie Jr

Based on the popular comic strip by Harold Gray, Annie, the world-wide phenomenon, was the winner of seven TONY Awards including Best Musical and is now adapted for young performers in Annie JR.  The beloved book and score by TONY Award winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin features some of the greatest musical theatre hits ever written including "Tomorrow".

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 world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations and even 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.
