23 roles

AnnieFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

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. She has to be motherly in scene one, independent in scene two, overwhelmed in scenes four and five, needy in scene seven, and hopeful for the future in scenes ten and eleven.

MOLLYFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Youngest orphan. Best friends with Annie.

KATEFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Shyest orphan who is friends with everyone.

TESSIEFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Most emotional – cries or laughs easily.

PEPPERFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Tough and bossy. Clashes with Annie.

JULYFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Quietest orphan who goes along with the crowd.

DUFFYFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Tallest and most mature of the orphans.

Miss HanniganFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

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. The student who plays her must have an excellent sense of comic timing. The acrid delivery of her lines and the torch-like rendition of her songs must distinguish her from the other characters in the show.

Grace FarrellFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Grace is mature, calm, cool and "together." She is classy and businesslike when dealing with Miss Hannigan and Warbucks, yet maternal toward Annie. The student playing Grace can set herself apart from the other characters simply by the sophisticated way she walks. Grace should seem ready with an answer for just about anything. Each dramatic situation should seem to come "under control" the moment she glides into a scene.

RoosterMale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Rooster and Lily are quite the team -- "team" being the operative word, as the characters play off each other constantly. Rooster is flashy and self-assured. His "moves" should be as smooth as a gambler's, as should be the message he sells in "Easy Street."

LilyFemale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Rooster and Lily are quite the team -- "team" being the operative word, as the characters play off each other constantly. Lily (airhead that she is) is always distracted, although she manages to pick up on any conversation involving money. She never acts as the leader, always bringing up the rear while tripping over her own feet (it is difficult to walk and check your makeup in a compact at the same time).

WarbucksMale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

He must appear middle-aged, self-assured and confident. At first awkwardly affectionate toward Annie, he soon finds himself completely charmed by her. He begins his transformation when he views "N.Y.C." through Annie's eyes and falls in love with the city again...and with her. The student who plays Warbucks will need to be extremely focused throughout the show. His posture, walk and speech patterns are very important.

DrakeMale7-18 y.o.All ethnicities

From the moment these characters enter the acting area, their presence, posture and speech should suggest the most fastidious of domestic help.Their heads are always held high and they rarely show their emotions
