What do you

do when you're stuck with a day that's gray and lonely?

Go see Fayette

Community Theatre's production of the Broadway hit "Annie."

"Annie"

tells the story of an orphan girl in New York City who teaches a grumpy

millionaire to love again, while learning she can depend on people. The

show is filled with musical numbers like "A Hard Knock's Life,"

"Little Girls," and, of course, "Tomorrow."

The role of

Annie has been double-cast and will be shared by two talented young ladies,

Mallory Tarter and Nikki Jurecic. Tarter will play Annie during the June

21, 22, 30, July 1, 5 and 6 performances. Jurecic will be Annie June 23,

24, 28, 29 and July 7. Each young lady also will portray the orphan Pepper

when the other is performing as Annie.

"Annie"'s

cast is comprised of two dogs and 45 actors, many of whom are handling

two to three different roles. Fayette Community Theatre Inc.'s Joan Velsmid

expects "Annie" to be "the most impressive production of

our history." Velsmid is handling the direction of the show, while

Millie Turek is the musical director and Jonsie Pollock is directing the

choreography.

"Annie"

premieres at Starr's Mill High School Duke Auditorium Thursday, June 21,

and runs through July 7. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances begin

at 8 p.m., and the two Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. (no matinee on the third

weekend). General admission is $12. Children's tickets and Thursday performances

are $10.
