FULL SCHEDULE for ANNIE

The full schedule is posted in the column to the right.  It is a link to a document.  If you are using a smart phone or tablet, you may have trouble accessing it.  You should be able to solve this by viewing it from a computer.
You also should be able to print it.  If you do choose to print it, however, be sure to check it for updates, weekly!  Unforeseen circumstances always arise and we have to be flexible.  I will try my best not to ADD any practices and will hopefully shave some down as we progress.  It is a good idea to check the schedule on Friday and Sunday nights.
If you see ANY conflict, of any kind, please let me know ASAP!  If I am aware early enough and am able, I can rearrange things!
Take special note of the 1st Run-thru and the Final Run-thru.  We are finalizing the Final Run-thru date, but as of now, it is correct.  
THANK YOU for your patience!!!!!

AUDITION RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This year's audition process was great!  Thank you to each student who participated!  We have a nice-sized group for our Upper-School and Lower School cast.  "Annie" only has a handful of roles for Lower School.  That being said, if we could, we would put EACH ONE of you in the show.  So, if your child's name didn't make this list, please don't lose heart!  Next year is a whole new year, with a new play and new opportunities.  If all goes as planned it will be a play with TONS of "kid" roles! Please come back and audition again!  If you are a parent whose child is not on this list and you still want to volunteer, please let me know! 
Also, if you are an upper-school student who tried out and whose name does not appear on the list, please let me know asap!  There is hardly a year where I don't somehow misplace someone's name, etc.  EVERY upper school student interested in participating, gets to.  So let me know!
Thank you again for participating!  We hope even those who are not playing a role this year will support their fellow students and sit back and enjoy the show! 
For those of you on this list, there is an upper school read-thru on FRIDAY from 2-4 in Mr. Givens room.   It is MANDATORY for MAIN ROLES (that's all Lower School Main Roles, too!) and all other Upper School participants may attend. 
THANK YOU!
