(1888PressRelease) May 24, 2011 - Leading digital casting hub, ActorCast, is powering Broadway's national open call for the 2012 production of "Annie." Following the lead from Hollywood, Broadway is now making the move to digital casting with ActorCast. For the roles of Annie and the orphans, girls ages 6-12 can submit auditions online to be reviewed by casting director, Bernie Telsey, for a shot on the stage. No more hard-knocks for Broadway hopefuls unable to make the trip to New York; ActorCast is helping talent from coast to coast to be seen.

After pioneering the casting connection between film and actor for the past several years, ActorCast brings their technology and convenience to the stage. Instead of time-consuming cattle calls, actors can now submit their auditions online in a timely, efficient manner. Individuals interested in auditioning for the new production of "Annie" may film themselves singing a contemporary pop/rock song or show tune, provide a brief clip of their personality, a digital photo and resume, and submit the audition all via ActorCast's platform.

"Broadway is taking notice of how drastically ActorCast's digital casting has streamlined the industry and they want in," says Chris Gantos, Co-Founder of ActorCast. "We bridge the gap between casting directors and actors, making the entire process run more smoothly."

With the direction of Tony-Award winning James Lapine combined with ActorCast's widened reach on international talent, this is one production Broadway fans won't abandon.

"Annie is such an inspirational musical to so many people," says Gantos. "It will be great to see such a classic show resurface on the Broadway stage with some fresh-faced talent to make it new again."
