Anyone have any suggestions based on past performances of Annie? We have a full cast and we are double casting Annie and some of the other orphans. The more kids, the more tickets are sold!

We also finally had a stage constructed - 4x4 sections that are fit onto legs that are easily fit on and can go up to 24"! Easy to store also. THis is always a challenge for community theaters.....

Full Cast... Great!.. Double casting ALL the kids... Interesting!.. Suggestions... Invest in traquilizers!!! (ok I know its not helpful, but I do a couple of big shows a year with lots of kids, and I just HAD to say it)

Annie has a large cast without doubling. I think it approaches 50 if everyone plays one part.

MartyW ... I believe they're presently working on a spray Ritalin!
