Youth Auditions for Annie
Local girls, ages 8 to 15 years, audition for Drayton Entertainment’s production of Annie on Thursday, September 20 and Tuesday, September 25, 2012.
Drayton Entertainment is pleased to announce that local young female performers may sign up to audition for the upcoming production of Annie at the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse. Appointments must be booked in advance.

Aspiring young performers should be prepared to sing the popular song, “Hard Knock Life” from Annie. Performance experience is an asset, but not required. A passion for theatre and an outgoing personality are the only prerequisites!
In order to provide opportunities for as many girls as possible to be involved, up to forty youth may be cast in the orphan ensemble with professional actors in the lead roles. To accommodate the rigorous schedule of this grand-scale production, the youth performers will be divided into groups – each group will take the stage for select performances.
Auditions will take place at:
Emmanuel at Brighton Child Care Centre
65 Noecker Street, Waterloo (between King Street and Weber Street).
Pre-Registration is required.
Auditions will begin at 6:00 p.m.
Local media are encouraged to cover the auditions for a behind-the-scenes look at the magic that goes into creating a mega-musical production. Director Alex Mustakas as well as the prospective orphans may be available for interviews upon request.
Rehearsals for the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse production of Annie begin in October. The show is on stage from November 13th to December 23rd. Drayton Entertainment Artistic Director Alex Mustakas is the Director for Annie. Robert Foster is the Music Director and Gino Berti is the Choreographer.
From its Broadway beginnings to the classic film, this heart-warming rags-to-riches story of a young girl’s journey from the hard-knock New York orphanage to the luxurious home of billionaire businessman Oliver Warbucks, is a tale that has been told all over the world for decades. Featuring one of Broadway’s most memorable scores, including “It’s The Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street” and the legendary “Tomorrow”, it really is no surprise that Annie has become one of the best-loved family musicals of all time.
Annie runs from November 13th to December 23rd. Tickets are available for purchase online at
