 "Annie Jr." | February 28-March 2
Our Middle School and Lower School students will soon be re-telling the wonderful story of a persistent, hope filled orphan who believes that tomorrow will be better than today. Annie Jr. will be an exciting, pail stomping good time. Come and support these wonderful young actors! The show opens February 28th at 7:00 pm, with additional performances on March 1 at 7:00 pm and March 2 at 2:00 pm.
DON'T MISS our "Annie Tea Party" for ages 3-11, Saturday, March 2nd from 12:30pm - 1:30 pm in the Upper School Courtyard. Please dress to impress, as the Courtyard will be transformed into Daddy Warbucks' patio. Tickets are $15 and include admission to the Tea Party, snacks, activities, pictures with the cast (including Annie and Sandy!), and one student ticket to the Saturday 2:00pm performance. Parents may attend the Tea Party for free, but will need to purchase a ticket for the performance. Tickets for the performances and Tea Party can be purchased at the LS and US offices.
