Looking forward to Annie Jr auditions tomorrow, May 16th at Wilmington High School. Doors will open at 1:30 PM to fill out audition forms and have a photo taken. Auditions will begin at 2PM. We will have a staggered end time and will begin releasing kids around 5:30 PM. Anyone who auditions should wear clothes they can move well in and shoes to dance in, no flip-flops, slides or Crocs. To get a sense of the music, listen to the playlist below.

Auditions are open to ages 6-18 and students from any school district and/or county are welcome to come. To provide a safe and judgment-free environment for kids to do their best, the auditions are closed to spectators. We find kids feel much more comfortable exploring their creativity when they are not worried about an "audience' watching them.
