Ovation! Performing Arts Northwest will hold auditions Saturday, Sept. 24 for its upcoming production of the beloved musical “Annie,” which will run from Dec. 2 to Dec. 18.

The large cast includes parts for adults and teens as well as children, girls and boys, and an ensemble. All parts are open for auditions.

There will also be future auditions scheduled for especially well behaved dogs to fill the role of Sandy, Annie’s faithful canine companion.

Award-winning artistic director Ron Milton will direct the show, with musical direction by Reece Suavé and choreography by Ashley Roy.

“Annie” follows the life of a plucky orphan during the Great Depression, who ultimately finds a home and happiness with billionaire Oliver Warbucks. The show has been a family favorite for three generations.

“Annie is one of the most popular shows in the world and is a perfect choice for the holiday,” said Milton. “The show is chock-full of musical theater favorites, including ‘Tomorrow,’ ‘You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile,’ ‘Easy Street,’ ‘Little Girls’ and many others.”

Singers should prepare a song from musical theater (32 bars is acceptable) and bring piano music in their key for the accompanist.
