Joining them and the previously announced Timothy McCuen Piggee as Oliver Warbucks and Cynthia Jones as Miss Hannigan are Dane Stokinger as Rooster, Jessica Skerritt as Grace, Cheyenne Casebier as Lily, and Tony Lawson as FDR. The cast is completed by a stellar group of local talent and 5th Avenue Theatre favorites that play the girls in Miss Hannigan's orphanage and the ensemble of Hooverville-ites, New Yorkers, and more. High school students that are part of The 5th's Rising Star Project are also included in the ensemble.

"This cast is very special. To a soul, they bring incredible emotion, humanity, and generosity to the table. Each heart is a force," said Annie director Billie Wildrick. "Representation was very important to me in casting. So many young people come to Annie - for many of them, it's their first show. We actively sought diversity in our cast because it's very important to me that all the kiddos can see bodies as well as souls that are like theirs on the stage.
