HUDSON, NC (May 30, 2017)…The classic Broadway musical, “Annie” will be presented as the 2017 Fall Hudson Dinner Theatre Production. The play will be performed on Thursday through Saturday, October 19th, 20th, 21st, 26th, 27th and 28th at the Hudson Uptown Building (HUB), 145 Cedar Valley Road, Hudson. Auditions for the role of Annie and all the other orphans will be held at the HUB on Monday and Tuesday, June 26th and 27th at 6:30 PM. These auditions are for girls up to the age of 16. Please wear comfortable clothing and closed toe shoes, as you will be asked to move and do some basic dance steps. Please bring a copy of the sheet music with which you plan to audition, preferably a musical selection from the play, “Annie.” Your piece should be memorized.
