Tauranga girl Venice Harris has won a part in the stage production Annie after more than 600 girls around the country auditioned for a role.
Seven-year-old Venice auditioned for the part of Molly in February and after making it through the initial audition she got a callback for a second two-day audition process.
She was told on Monday that she was one of 48 girls picked to be an orphan in the show.
The girls have been divided into two groups of 24, with one group performing in the Auckland show and the others in Wellington.
Venice would be performing in Auckland and she said it would be the biggest stage she has performed on. She said she had been in school performances and ballet recitals.
