On Friday at 6:30 p.m., 30 local first through fourth grade Big Sky students will perform “Annie Junior” on the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center stage.
The show, about an orphan named Annie living the “hard-knock life” in New York City, is sponsored by the Spanish Peaks Community Foundation and Maude E. Gore Foundation. A part of the Big Sky Broadway program, Lone Peak High School students have led the cast in rehearsals.
The story follows Annie, who lives in the New York Municipal Orphanage run by a cruel Miss Hanagan. Annie dreams of being reunited with her parents and ends up on an adventure to reconnect with her parents, befriending President Franklin Roosevelt and finding a new family along the way.
“Watch as this pint-sized powerhouse turns Depression-era New York upside down with her infectious optimism,” a description of the musical states on the WMPAC website.
Tickets for the show are $15 and can be purchased online.
