Annie Jr. Cast

Hana Lee (Annie)
I am over the moon to be playing the role of Annie. I've never been in a musical before - let alone the lead - but this cast is so amazing. Everyone works really hard to make our show the best that it can be. I don't have a lot of acting experience, but I am a performer: I both teach and practice traditional Korean dance.
Viviana Pedroza (Miss Hannigan)
Since I was a little girl, I have loved to sing and act. This is my first time in a musical, and I couldn't be more excited. I am looking forward to playing a villain character, as I feel that it will really stretch me as a performer.
Katherine De Jesus (Lily)
Since elementary school, I have participated in many choirs, and I have been given numerous opportunities to sing in front of audiences and on live television. It is my first time participating in a musical. I am thankful for our wonderful cast, Mrs. J, as well as my parents for supporting me in doing what I love.
Victoria Rodriguez (Rooster)
I think that being in this production is a great opportunity for me because I haven't been in a musical since second grade. I can hardly wait to play the part of Rooster!
Nancy Martinez (Oliver Warbucks, Dance Captain)
I aspire to be a professional dancer. I have been dancing since I was six years old. I have performed during halftime shows with famous people such as Sofia Carson. I also have experience with modeling and singing. I'm looking forward to being a part of this great show!
Sophia Da Cruz Rodriguez (Grace Farrell)
I have participated in musical theatre since I was in fourth grade. I have been in many shows including "Into the Woods," "Peter Pan Jr," "The Light in the Library," and "Aladdin Jr." I look forward to participating in a show with Mrs. J!
Jem Bendewald (Tessie, Cecille, New Yorker)
This is my first time acting in a musical. My orphan character Tessie is a very nervous little girl, so if I get nervous on stage, it will only enhance my performance! Being in this musical will hopefully boost my self-confidence.
Shirley Garcia (Pepper, Annette, New Yorker)
I’m an outgoing, weird 17 year old. It’s my last year here at Bishop Conaty, and I’ve never had an opportunity to be in a play... until now! Being a part of a performance like this is such a memorable experience. I can’t wait to perform in front of my school and make my parents proud!
Stephany Guerrero (July, Mrs. Greer, New Yorker)
I joined the drama class in my freshman year at BCL. It helped me come out of my shell because, back then, I was shy and quiet. Being a part of this production has helped me to express myself more.
Daniela Pacheco (Duffy, Mrs. Pugh, New Yorker)
This is my first time participating in a theatre production. As a senior, I wanted to be a part of a new experience with my wildcat sisters. I hope that you enjoy witnessing the fruits of our hard work and dedication.
Nardos Worku (Molly, Usherette, New Yorker)
I hope to one day go into the film industry. I love this theatrical production, and like Annie, I believe that dreams can come true and that you can do anything you want in your life.
Jennifer Jimenez (Kate, Usherette, New Yorker)
I am a senior here at BCL, and this is my first time being part of a theatrical production. I am beyond excited for this experience! I want to thank my friends, teachers, and family for supporting me.
Katrina Ramos (Dogcatcher, Ward, Bert Healy, Louis Howe)
I am a freshman here at BCL. My talents are singing and acting, and "Hamilton" is my favorite musical. Being in Annie Jr. is one of the best opportunities I've had because it gives me a chance to demonstrate my skills in the performing arts.
Lauren Wade (Bundles, Orphan, Star-to-Be)
As a young woman, being a part of "Annie Jr" is a dream come true. While I see myself as a musician, I am excited to gain other performance skills through this opportunity. I hope that those who see our production will have an experience of a lifetime.
Katrina Manzanilla (Drake, New Yorker)
I have been part of a children's choir since the fifth grade. We have performed at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Music Center downtown. However, this is my first time in a musical, and I am very excited to be a part of this cast.
Adele Nico (Sandy)
I love dogs so much, and I am excited to be playing Annie's dog, Sandy. This is my first time ever doing theatre. I enjoy playing the piano for large audiences, and I think that experience will help me on the stage.
