• You know the sun'll come out tomorrow, but can you sing it well enough to get cast in Annie? If you or some would-be orphan you know want help on that score, take note: Zilker Theatre Productions, which is staging the Strouse-Charnin hit as the 2010 Summer Musical, will hold a free audition workshop Sunday, Feb. 21, at McCallum High School, 5600 Sunshine. Stage and music director Michael McKelvey and other local theatre pros will discuss the audition process (and audition dos and don'ts), teach music that can be used for an Annie audition, and run a mock dance call. Space is limited, so you must register to attend. Workshop times are noon-2pm for children ages 8-14; 2:30-4:30pm for teens 15 years old to adults. Auditions for Annie will be held March 6 & 20.
