City's Children's Theater Hosting Auditions For 'Annie'

"The sun will come out tomorrow!" What girl didn't grow up singing those lines?

The City of Glendora Children's Theater will host open auditions for local Glendora children ages 5 to 18 for the upcoming production of "Annie." Prior experience is not necessary and every child who auditions gets a role. 

According to director and choreographer Tammy Colbert-Earnest, the program allows children to overcome shyness, improve social skills and have fun.

Rehearsals and the performances are 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 10 and Sept. 12 in The Legion Theater, 159 N. Cullen Ave. There is a $57 fee.

Show dates are Jan. 10 and Jan. 11.

Due to the repeat children and the popularity, pre-registration is highly recommended.  www.ci.glendora.ca.us  

The City of Glendora provided the following character breakdowns for available roles:

Annie (looks 9‐11) – Annie is a tough streetwise urchin who is, nevertheless vulnerable when she thinks she might lose what has become most important to her, a newfound “family” who loves her. Throughout the show she shows independent, needy, maternal, and hopeful qualities. Although she is at times aggressive or crafty, there is no doubt that Annie is a friendly and caring child. (Must sing well)
