The Randolph Performing Arts Center Announces First Production Of Annie Jr., A Broadway Junior Play
Randolph, New Jersey (PRWEB) August 28, 2014 -- The Randolph Performing Arts Center (RPAC) at The Music Den today announced it will debut an original, first-ever production of Annie Jr., a Broadway Junior play. A casting call and auditions were held last June, and nearly 50 children between the ages of 7 and 14 tried out for parts. Two casts consisting of a total of 29 performers were selected, with rehearsals beginning in September. Six shows have already been scheduled for November 14-16 & 21-23, 2014.
Adapted for young performers, Broadway Junior productions feature condensed author-approved versions of classic musicals, Disney favorites and modern works that accommodate a variety of age ranges and ability levels.
The idea for doing a full-scale theatrical production at the RPAC was the brainchild of Angela Marcone (Education Coordinator for The Music Den), Angelica Laucius (Musical Director and Co-Director), Bernadette Fivehouse (Costuming, Props, Choreography), and Rosalie Tenseth (Acting Coach, Co-Director, and founder of The Acting Academy).
“We are extremely excited about how everyone is cast,” said Rosalie. “Everyone's strengths are going to be used in a way that is going to make this show and ensemble shine!”
Starring in the lead role as Annie is Marina Millelli of Denville, NJ and Tori Murray of Long Valley, NJ. Starring as Oliver Warbucks for both casts is Frank Cruze of Wayne, NJ. Rounding out the cast are: Anastasia Booth, Leah Chan, Lila Cook, Amanda Decraine, Samara Fishkin, Liam Gallagher, Jayson Goldner, Maraida Gonzales, Isabella Hermey, Olivia Howell, Brooke Iglar, Hope Keil, Abby Lamour, Masha Lilov, Jenna Manderioli, Giuseppe Milelli, Natalie Paitchel, Olivia Pescatore, Annabelle Plociniak, MacKenzy Reilly, Joelle Rivellese, Alexa Scano, Sydney Sieb, Max Young, Vivian Young, Alexa Yudoff, and a dog named Leila.
