Lakewood's Beck Center for the Arts is pleased to announce auditions for our holiday musical.....
 
Annie Based on the comic strip "Little Orphan Annie"
                                     Book by Thomas Meehan   Music by Charles Strouse   Lyrics by Martin Charnin
 
 
Separate audition dates will be held for Children and Adults for this production which opens Dec. 7th and closes 
Jan. 6th. Rehearsals will begin in late October.
 
One or two AEA contracts (Guest Artist) will be available. All actors 18 and over are paid a stipend for their
participation.
 
------------------------------------
Children's Auditions
 
"ANNIE" features 7  ORPHAN roles for young actresses, including the title role. We are looking for young female
performers who can pass for between 7 and 12 years of age. NO children under 7 will be eligible for this
production.  Older children who can realistically pass for 12 are permitted to audition.
 
Auditions for Orphan roles will be held on one day only......Sat. Sept. 15th between NOON and 4PM. Parents should
call 216-521-2540 x10 to make a 5 minute appointment. Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your appointment time 
fill out some paperwork.
 
PREPARATION: Children are encouraged to prepare one 30 to 60 second song. Singing to accompaniment is preferred, so please bring sheet music in your key. An accompanist will be provided.                                                                         If you do not have sheet music, an "A Capella" audition is permitted.
 
The rehearsal process will be a busy one and a sizable time commitment. Parents are encouraged to look at
their child's schedule to see if there is ample opportunity to fully participate in this project. Conflicts will weigh
heavily in the selection process. NO CONFLICTS can be entertained from Nov. 27th to Jan. 6th.
 
-----------------------------------------
 
Adult Auditions
 
All roles are open with the exception of Daddy Warbucks. AEA actors are welcome. 
 
Audition Dates are: Sunday, Sept. 16th and Monday, Sept. 17th from 6PM to 8PM either day. Appointments
can be made by calling 216-521-2540 x10. 
 
Please prepare one 60 to 90 second musical theater selection that shows your power and range. Bring sheet 
music in your key. An accompanist will be provided. A Capella auditions are discouraged.
 
A sidenote: While "ANNIE" is almost considered cliche' in much of the acting community, I can tell you from
experience that it is actually a) a VERY well-constructed piece of musical theatre and b) an absolute blast
to perform from Ensemble to Lead. Don't underrate it!
 
CALLBACKS for both children and adults will occur sometime during the weekend of Sept. 22nd/23rd.
 
------------------------------
 
APPOINTMENTS ARE BEING TAKEN NOW! Get your slot while it's still available. Should you have any
questions, please reply to this e-mail. Every effort will be made to respond as soon as possible.
