Sandy ~ we get a dog in our show!

There are so many great parts in Annie Warbucks ~ (read the character descriptions at the tab above again!) ~ Journey kids have absolutely GREAT opportunities in this show.

Being a dog lover I just have to bring attention again to the part of Sandy, Annie's lovable dog.  Although Sandy has no speaking lines, Sandy may get the greatest audience response!  Dogs can be a bit unpredictable.  In VE's Annie, our Sandy ate dropped popcorn kernels all across the front of the stage in front of the curtain as our movie usher tempted her across.  A dog can certainly steal the scene!

So, if you know a "scene stealing" dog or one that you know EVERYONE would just love, we are having DOG AUDITIONS on Friday, January 4th.  Here are notes from our Director.

***Dog auditions will be held for a larger dog for this role same day of auditions AFTER all student auditions.  (All breeds considered) Owner willing to be at a few rehearsals, dress week and all performances. Prefer that someone other than a cast member be with dog at all times.
Looking for the following (but not required):
Well trained
Sit on cue
Bark on cue
Stay in a large enclosed box 
 (Can cast a student as a dog handler if needed, please note on your child’s audition or crew form if interested.)

And our Director is.....

Jeff McHenry was the director of Annie, our first show in Vancouver East. He returns this session as the director of, Annie Warbucks. I remember his first director's strike at our Strike Party, complete with an Annie wig and new song lyrics! I am hoping for a repeat this session with Annie Warbucks!! You really DO NOT want to miss this!!

Christmas and Annie Warbucks


Annie was the FIRST show ever staged by CYT/Journey in Vancouver East!  The last scene in the original Annie is at the Warbuck's mansion on Christmas day.  Annie Warbucks opens with that same last scene of Annie, in the Warbuck's mansion, on Christmas day!  Leapin' Lizards!  

Hope you had a great Christmas day at your house!
