This story takes place during the Great Depression in NYC, where Annie is a resilient 11 year old girl who lives in an orphanage with the unlikely and unpleasant matron Miss Hannigan. Grace Farrell, assistant to the wealthy Oliver Warbucks, brings Annie to the Warbucks' home for Christmas one year as a publicity stunt framed as an act of charity. Surprised by his developing care for Annie, Warbucks considers adopting the child, until two characters come along claiming to be Annie's real parents. Will Annie's "forever home" be with these long-lost parents, or is she meant to find her new family in the Warbucks household? This classic story also features FDR and his cabinet of advisors, the hungry and homeless of depression-era NYC, performers in a radio show, the many colorful characters of the orphanage, and the attentive staff of the Warbucks household. Seeking a diverse cast, roles are available for all ages, ethnicities, and genders.
