KIDS (AGES 6-13) & ADULTS (AGE 16+)
Step 1: Submit an AUDITION FORM prior to auditions.
Step 2: Submit a video audition (details below).
Audition Date
Children (ages 6-13) & Adults (ages 16+) are to submit an audition video by April 11. Callbacks will take place for both child and adult roles whenever SALT is safely permitted to re-open from the COVID-19 shut-down.
Performances & Rehearsals
Performances dates will be published as soon as we know when SALT is able to safely re-open from the COVID-19 shut-down.
Audition Format
For children: Submit a video to by April 11 with your name and "Annie Audition" in the subject of the email. The video must contain you giving a 30 second intro telling us about yourself, as well as your singing choices with accompaniment.
If you are wanting to be considered for the role of "Annie", you must sing both Tomorrow and Maybe. For Tomorrow, start from halfway through the song at "when I'm stuck with a day that's grey" and sing through to the end; you must be able to easily belt this song to be considered for the role of "Annie". For Maybe, sing from the beginning through "their one mistake was giving up me". We want Maybe to sound sweet and vulnerable, NOT a belt-your-guts-out tone like Tomorrow. Please note that anyone who submits for the role of "Annie" will ALSO automatically be considered for all other Orphan roles. You do not need to also sing the Orphan-only songs listed below in your video.
If you are wanting to be considered for any of the Orphans other than "Annie", as well as the Ensemble, you must sing both It's the Hard Knock Life from the beginning through to "from the crying you would think this place would sink, ohhhhh" and You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile from where "Duffy" starts singing "Hey, hobo man, hey, Dapper Dan" through to the end.
For adults (ages 16+): Submit a video to by April 11 with your name and "Annie Audition" in the subject of the email. The video must contain you giving a 30 second intro telling us about yourself, as well as your singing choices with accompaniment. You may choose two songs (no more than 32 measure cuts each). Either or both song selections CAN be from the show.
