The musical "Annie"

is not often thought of as a Christmas show and it's performances

often occur year-round. The story has a distinct Christmas theme though

and it is the perfect show to bring your family to this holiday season.

For those unfamiliar with the

story, Annie is a little, red-headed orphan stuck in an orphanage run

one of his employees to take an orphaned child in for the holidays. Warbucks

grudgingly agrees, soon learns to love Annie, the orphan he chose, and

decides to adopt her. When Hannigan hears of the this, she concocts a

plan with her ex-con brother Rooster, to get Annie back and get a wad

of cash to boot.

"Annie" is one of

the more popular musicals in broadway history. it has been made into a

movie and has also been remade for television. Some of the songs from

the show include "Hard Knock Life," "Maybe," and of

course, "Tomorrow."

The cast of the show is typically

large, but Newnan Community theatre has an even larger cast as there are

two teams of girls sharing the roles of the orphans. The teams, Delta

and Omega, will split the performances, giving the girls ample time to

rest between performances and giving more girls an opportunity to participate.
