BACKSTAGE/PREPARATIONS
CAST INTRODUCTIONS
The play began with groups of cast members taking the stage as familiar Annie tracks played. This is a great way to begin a school show as it gives friends and family the opportunity to spot their favourite ‘stars’ in costume prior to the action unfolding. It also gave the students an opportunity to get some jitters out taking the stage alongside their peers before their is any need to remember lines or hit cues.
ACTION!
