2. AUDITIONS FOR ANNIE GET YOUR GUN: Theatre with a Twist has rescheduled the auditions for their 2013 All in the Family production of ‘Annie Get Your Gun’.
Annie is the best shot around, and she manages to support her little brother and sisters by selling the game she hunts. When she’s discovered by Col. Buffalo Bill, he persuades this novel sharp shooter to join his Wild West Show.
It only takes one glance for her to fall head over heels for dashing shooting ace Frank Butler, who headlines the show. She soon eclipses Butler as the main attraction which, while good for business, is bad for romance. Butler hightails it off to join a rival show, his bruised male ego leading the way, but is ultimately pitted against Annie in a final shoot-out.
The rousing, sure-fire finale hits the mark every time in a testament to the power of female ingenuity. Music & Lyrics by Irving Berlin, Book by Herbert Fields and Dorothy Fields.
This show is open to all age groups. Registration fee is $50. Auditions will be held at 278 Great Road, Acton, on Saturday March 30, 6-9 p.m.
