Their dream was to be cast in Huron Country Playhouse's production of the famed Broadway musical ANNIE. General Manager. of the Playhouse, Heather Redick was "overwhelmed by all the interest, enthusiasm and talent witness- ed among the local, non-professional young people at these auditions.. It's been very rewarding!" So many wonderfully appropriate children turned up, that the Playhouse has been granted concessions by Actor's Equity Association to allow for the casting of extra local youngsters in ANNIE. Some, of the children are Ailsa Craig's own Julie De Vree; Arkona's Angela Richter; Chatham's Susan Carter, Clinton's Jessi Ford;. Corunna's Jamie Bracewell; Dashwood's Kelly Hoffman and Jennifer Weigand; Exeter's Melanie Philips; Forest's Rachel Bartlett and Mary Greinar; Goderich's Rebecca Penn, Jackie Rau and Tanya Ross; Grand Bend's Sarah Ban- nister, Chantelle Crabe and Patti Desjar- dine; Hensall's Victoria Bisback; London's Andrea l3ettger, Jacki Dykes, Karen Suzuki and Stephanie Taylor; Michell's Cindy No- ble; and Sarnia's Marie Stacey and Lynne Milsom (and Wiggins Milsom). Wiggins is the Milsom's household pet, and -one of a menagerie of seven. Being an extra talented canine has landed him a lead role as "Sandy", Annie's dog. Sebringville's Kristen Tara; Stratford's Caroline and Colleen Rothwell; Strathroy's Allison Wolder; Woodham's Sarah Bradford and Zurich's Aimee Gelinas are also - included. Annie, book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Char- nin, is the smash hit Broadway musical and has been performed in theatres around the world. Meehan's book is set in the Depression and opens in the city orphanage where An- nie, (Sudbury's Theresa Stewart), has dwelled since her parents abandoned her as a baby. After an eleven year stay, Annie decides that it is high time that she locates her missing parents and runs away. Returned promptly by one of New York's finest, she is selected by Oliver Warbuck's secretary to spend the Christmas holidays at the Warbuck mansion. Needless to say, the small red-headed orphan adds vitality and spirit to the festive season and touches everyone's heart with joy and hope. The rest is Broadway history.
