(From Crowder College)The Crowder College Theatre department will hold its summer production of Annie JR., book by Thomas Meehan, directed by Shirley Gollhofer.
The production will run four shows in three days: June 16-17, 7PM nightly, and June 18, 10AM and 2PM, in the Elsie Plaster Community Center on the Neosho campus.
Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a beloved book and score by Tony Award winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin,
Annie JR. features everyone’s favorite little redhead in her very first adventure. With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone’s heart despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930’s New York City.
Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan’s evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
