Children's Auditions
(Please note that this show is not being run by Minerva Youth Theatre therefore all children interested in taking part in this show will need to audition. It is also pertinent to mention that there are likely to be conflicts in rehearsal dates where a MYT member is involved with this show and MYT's South Pacific. Any questions on Annie should be directed to Marion@Minervaclub.net )

AGE : 9 years and over

You should come prepared to sing two songs: “Tomorrow” from “Annie” and another from any other Musical Theatre show of your choice e.g. Bugsy Malone, Wizard of Oz, Sound of Music, etc. (Please bring music for your own choice of song.)
Children will be split into two groups and taught “Tomorrow” and a short dance routine. The first stage of singing and dance auditions will then be held in small groups from 1.00pm - 3.00pm. If you are asked to remain for a second audition, you will be expected to sing the song of your choice, and read a short piece of dialogue. This stage will run from 3.00pm - 5.00pm
We hope to finish the first audition stage by 3.00pm and the second by 5.00pm - having selected two children’s casts. There will be no other audition date for children.
