Attic Productions will hold auditions for their summer production of Roger and Hammerstein’s musical, “Annie Get Your Gun” at the Fincastle United Methodist Church sanctuary on the morning of May 10th at 10 AM. There are 22 characters of various ages with speaking and many other non-speaking chorus parts. There are 9 scheduled performances running July 31st thru August 16th. All performances will be staged at Attic’s theatre.

Interested actors may audition with a script of their own choice or may cold-read selected sections of script from the play with other actors. Actors should come prepared to sing something. A piano will be available for use. Any musicians interested in participating in this show are also encouraged to contact director, Carl Bridgman as soon as possible. Full orchestration music has been rented for this show which features Irving Berlin music.

There are 22 characters in this musical with speaking lines. 3 of these are children who are Annie’s two sisters and a brother. Then there are a number of non-speaking parts representing anything from Circus Roustabouts to English aristocracy such as Queen Victoria, the Czar of Russia, the King of Italy and the President of France.
