Whether you are a fan of musicals,

drama or just plain music, there is a lot going on this week and weekend

to keep you entertained.

The Henry Players will present

one of the most beloved musicals of all time when they present "Annie"

at the Henry County Performing Arts Center, Thursday-Sunday. Annie is

an orphan who is selected to spend Christmas with rich man Oliver "Daddy"

Warbucks as a way to make him appear more sensitive. The two bond nearly

instantly and Warbucks plans to adopt Annie. When Ms. Hannigan, the evil

orphanage owner finds out, she concocts a plan to get her hands on some

of Warbucks' money. The show will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday

and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. Advance tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for

seniors and children. Tickets at the door are $1 more. Phone 770-914-1474

or visit www.henryplayers.com for reservations or more information.

The Fox Theatre will present

a more modern musical when they bring in the Tony Award winning musical,

"Urinetown." Despite the off-putting title, "Urinetown"

is at its heart a love story set in a city during a water shortage. Two

star-crossed lovers find each other and then find strength inside themselves

to start a revolution. "Urinetown" won three Tony Awards, Best

Book, Best Music and Best Direction. Performances will run through Nov.

16 at the Fox. Tickets range from $15-$46. Phone 404-249-6400 or visit

Last week, Starr's Mill

was due to present "All in the Timing" at McIntosh High School.

The play will now be performed at Starr's Mill's Willie Duke

Auditoirum tonight and tomorrow at 7 p.m. Admission is $5.

On Sunday, Catrin Finch. the

age of 10 was performing at the World Harp Congress in Paris. She has

played all over the world and in 2000 won the Young Concert Artists International

Auditions as well as the Princeton University Concerts Prize and the Orchestra
