Upcoming Spirit of Soul Auditions

AUDITIONS: ANNIE WARBUCKS

Audition Date: Sunday, September 24, 2023

Time: 3:00pm-6:00pm

Location: Star Center Theatre

Performance Dates: December 7-17, 2023

What to prepare: A one minute or less monologue, 32 bars from a Broadway Musical.

Cold Readings from the Script and Short Dance/Movement will be taught.

The Plots: On Christmas morning in 1933, when Child Welfare Commissioner Harriet Doyle (replacing the original's Miss Hannigan as the villain of the piece) arrives on the scene to inform Daddy Warbucks he must marry within sixty days or else the child will be returned to the orphanage. Daddy Warbucks' whirlwind search for a fitting bride uncovers not only a plot by Doyle and her daughter Sheila Kelly to strip him of his fortune, but also his true feelings for his long-time assistant, Grace Farrell. A gaggle of cute little girls seeking parents and President Franklin D. Roosevelt return to take part in the shenanigans.
