UPDATE: Auditions for the beloved musical “Annie” are just around the corner, taking place on December 13 at the Mineral Area College Fine Arts Theater. This is an urgent call for aspiring actors! Children aged 14 and under can audition at 10 a.m., while those 15 and older should arrive at 3 p.m..
The excitement is palpable as Kaity Conaway, a passionate director, leads this production, which promises to bring the classic story to life. Auditions will include callbacks on December 14 at 6 p.m. at MAC. Interested participants need to prepare a 60- to 90-second song and bring their own accompaniment track on a Bluetooth-compatible device, as acapella auditions are not allowed.
Those auditioning will receive an audition preparation bundle via email, which includes character monologues and choreography videos. It’s crucial to arrive in appropriate dance attire, ready to memorize and perform both dance routines and monologues on audition day.
Roles available include the title character, Annie, alongside key figures like Warbucks, Grace Farrell, Miss Hannigan, and more. Rehearsals will occur on weekdays from January 5 to February 25, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.. Performances are scheduled for February 26-28 at 7 p.m. and March 1 at 3 p.m.
Conaway expressed her enthusiasm: “I’m super excited to get to direct Annie because it’s one of the first movie musicals I remember watching as a kid.” She emphasized her eagerness to see the creative choreography unfold, stating, “Annie has so many fun opportunities for choreography, both dance and just organized movement.”
This production marks a significant moment for Conaway as it is her first time directing outside of the Farmington School District. She is eager to learn and experience the dynamics of directing a show in a different theatre environment.
Don’t miss this chance to be part of a musical that has captivated audiences since its inception. Prepare your songs and dance moves, and get ready to step into the spotlight at MAC!
This is an urgent invitation for all aspiring performers—mark your calendars and be prepared for an unforgettable audition experience!
