Last year’s production of ANNIE was so popular, No Square Theater is bringing it back. Adult auditions are Saturday, September 22, starting at 6:30 p.pm., and youth auditions are set for October 8 and 9. Forms and audition details are available on the website: www.nosquare.org

This wildly popular, Tony Award-winning musical (Music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin), will be directed by Joe Lauderdale and choreographed by Ellen Prince. With a minimally staged concept, this production places much more emphasis on the actors and the story rather than scenery, making the Ensemble even more important than it would be in a traditionally mounted production.

Performances will be Friday-Sunday, November 30—December 22. General rehearsals begin October 10, Monday –Friday, 6:30-10:00 PM and Saturday 10:00-5:00, at No Square Theatre. (Schedule is approximate and subject to change.)

Strong performers are desired for leading roles and ensemble parts. In ANNIE, the spunky orphan with humble beginnings in 1930s New York City, inspires everyone with her enduring positive attitude. Standout songs include “It’s a Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You,” and the ultimate anthem of optimism, “Tomorrow.”
