Cast members and volunteers enjoy a great community environment, social events, and the opportunity to improve their theatre skills. About Annie Act 1. The year is 1933. The scene opens on the New York Municipal Girls Orphanage, where we meet several orphan girls and Annie, an optimistic redhead who dreams of finding her parents. They left her on the orphanage doorstep together with a note and half a locket 11 years ago. An opportune visit from Mr Bundles, the laundryman, sees Annie escape in the laundry basket. As she attempts to find her parents on the streets of NYC, she meets many colourful characters and adopts a friendly stray dog she names Sandy. However, she is soon caught by Lt. Ward, a policeman, who takes her back to the orphanage and the dreadful Miss Hannigan, the mean matron who hates children and seems to always be suffering from a hangover. Billionaire Oliver Warbucks’ assistant, Grace Farrell, visits the orphanage looking for an orphan to share the Christmas holidays at his mansion. Annie is chosen much to the reluctance of Miss Hannigan. Warbucks’ staff welcomes Annie to their immaculate home, and while Oliver Warbucks is not too happy the orphan is not a boy, eventually the two quickly hit it off and he agrees to help her find her parents. Act 2 The scene opens with Annie appearing on a radio show where Warbucks announces that he is offering $50,000 to the couple who can prove they are her parents. Miss Hannigan’s crook of a brother, Rooster, and his ditzy girlfriend, Lily St Regis, hatch a plan to pretend to be Annie’s parents. Warbuck takes Annie to Washington, D.C., where she requests to meet the optimistic President Franklin D Roosevelt. Once back home, Warbucks announces he would like to adopt her. They decide to throw a Christmas party, and Annie wants to invite Miss Hannigan and the orphans. Judge Brandeis attends at the Mansion to officiate the adoption proceedings, but is interrupted by Mr and Mrs Mudge (Rooster and Lily in disguise). Even though they know about Annie’s note and locket (thanks to insider information from Miss Hannigan), Warbucks requests that she be allowed to stay one more night for the Christmas party, before they take Annie ‘home’ to their supposed pig farm in New Jersey. Warbucks receives a surprise visit from Roosevelt who announces that the FBI has discovered that Annie's parents died when she was a baby. Rooster, Lily and Miss Hannigan are arrested, and Annie is officially adopted by Warbucks.

  • Meet the Spqitful Cast of the Sweet Potato Queens
    Meet The SPQitful Cast of The Sweet Potato Queens For Immediate Release February 23, 2016 Artwork: Logo Headshots are linked in bios Media Contacts: Lisa Holmes, Manager, Public Relations (713) 558-2654, [email protected] Laura Pettitt, Assistant Director, Marketing (713) 558-2653, [email protected] (HOUSTON) – TUTS Underground presents the world premiere of The Sweet Potato Queens in March 2016. This new musical is brought to the stage in partnership with writer Rupert Holmes (Tony® Award winner for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Music and Lyrics for The Mysteries of Edwin Drood), Grammy® Award- winning composer Melissa Manchester, and Oscar-nominated lyricist Sharon Vaughn. TUTS Underground not only brings a wider musical theatre experience to Houston, but also serves as a launchpad – giving the TUTS Underground audience first view of new, emerging works. Based on The New York Times best-selling series (with a cult following) The Sweet Potato Queens ® by author Jill Connor Browne, the musical version is loosely based on Browne’s life – showcasing the juxtaposition between her life before creating the larger-than-life character of a Sweet Potato Queen, and after. An uplifting, empowering tale of perseverance and following dreams, The Sweet Potato Queens reminds audiences that everyone deserves to be special. Susan Koozin stars as Queen Jill with Kathryn Porterfield in the role of Jackson Jill. Her friends – all named Tammy – are Christina Stroup as Floozie Tammy, Julia Krohn as Flower Tammy and, new to the TUTS Underground stage, Kerissa Arrington as Too Much Tammy. The rest of the cast includes Dylan Godwin as George, Adam Gibbs as Tyler, Theresa Nelson as Mama and Kevin Cooney as Daddy.

Beck May 2020 ! Abstract ____________________________ This interdisciplinary thesis examines the myth of the orphan in twentieth-century America as exemplified through the recurring story of “Little Orphan Annie,” an iconic American figure of independence, resilience, and optimism. By providing historical context and literary analysis for each of Annie’s crucial moments in the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the character has advanced a misguided perception of orphan and youth agency. While evolving to represent different decades of American society in the twentieth century through different mediums, Annie has further misled Americans in their perception of orphan and youth agency.
