About the Show
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage that is run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations... and even befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt! She finds a new home and family in billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
Show Information

Casting
MTS JR: All current members of MTS jr. are guaranteed a role. New members are welcome to audition.
MTS Stage: Anyone who has been in any MTS Show before is welcome to audition. Non-members are welcome to submit an application but are informed that a background check may be necessary and that showing interrest is not a guaranteed chance to audition. Thank you for understanding the safeguarding rules we have put in place.
Auditions
Auditions will happen in the MTS Studio over the weekend of 8th-10th January 2027. If you cannot attend this audition slot, please let us know and we will organise a video submission.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals will mostly take place on Saturdays between 11am-2pm. Adult Cast and the role of Annie may be asked to attend occasional additional rehearsals on Saturday afternoons or weeknights but this will be scheduled within a reasonable timeframe and according to your availability.
Show
We are planning four performances over 2–3 days in mid-June, before the summer school holidays. The exact dates and venue are currently being finalised and will be confirmed as soon as possible If you have any holidays etc that might affect your availability in this time, let us know below and we will see what is possible.
Fees
MTS JR: Our standard fees apply: 95euro per month. This includes 16-20 hours a month of rehearsals, lessons and teachers as well as costumes and any other show related fees MTS incurs.
MTS Stage: Our standard fees apply: 40eur per month. This includes approximately 8-12 hours of month of rehearsals. You will not be expected to purchase costumes, however we may ask you to use your own clothes if you own something. Costumes will be a collaborative effort.
Don't let financial concerns hold you back from applying. We strive to be as inclusive as possible; however, in order to keep our fees comparably low for everyone, we must ensure that all production costs are fully covered. Please note that fees are set at a fixed rate regardless of an individual's specific involvement or rehearsal hours. Even so, we aim to remain accessible and may be able to work something out on a case-by-case basis. Depending on eligibility, MTS Jr. applicants reliant on parental income may qualify to apply for a discretionary bursary, while financially independent MTS Stage applicants may be considered for an income-based discount or a reduced fee in exchange for assisting behind the scenes.
