CHARACTERS
Annie
Annie is a complex little girl. She 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.
​
The Orphans
Molly, Tessie, July, Duffy, Kate, and Pepper are just a few. These girls are gritty, neglected, and vulnerable, yet basically honest and potentially lovable.
​
Miss Hannigan
This woman is definitely a "has-been." Her distaste for her job and the children that are part of it should be obvious in every line she speaks, every song she sings and every move she makes.
​
Grace Farrell
Grace is mature, calm, cool and "together." She is classy and businesslike when dealing with Miss Hannigan and Warbucks, yet maternal toward Annie.
​
Rooster & Lily
Rooster and Lily are quite the team -- "team" being the operative word, as the characters play off each other constantly.
​
Warbucks
This may be the most challenging role for a student in this age group. He must appear middle-aged, self-assured and confident. At first awkwardly affectionate toward Annie, he soon finds himself completely charmed by her.
​
Sandy
In this production, Sandy is played by a human. Sandy is Annie's canine friend and scrappy in her own right.
​
Servants (Drake, Mrs. Greer and Mrs. Pugh)
From the moment these characters enter the acting area, their presence, posture and speech should suggest the most fastidious of domestic help.
​
Additional Characters
servants, pedestrians, Bundles, the chauffeur, Louis Howe, the apple seller and the dogcatcher.
