Last weekend was a wonderfully packed one at Laura's Center for the Arts. Three sold out performances of Annie JR filled the center with bustle and song. There are few things better than to hear 55 youth, ages 5-16, belting out "the sun'll come out tomorrow!" Its hopeful and refreshing, to say the least.
Tyler Cavanagh, the production director, wrote beautifully about all that theatre at LCA means to us in his director's note. In case you missed the performances, or just missed snagging a playbill, here is an excerpt:
Bravo to the cast and crew of Annie JR and thanks to all who attended. A HUGE thanks to the families of the participants as well: the holidays are a busy time for all of us- thank you for making this opportunity a priority for your kiddos!
Annie is a show about feeling loved and finding a place to belong, and most anyone who has been involved in theatre can appreciate that feeling. The camaraderie, trust, and feeling of home is something that has always drawn me to theatre, as well as to the Y. I am blessed to have the chance to work such an amazing cast and production team, and find that family feeling directing Annie Jr. at the Emilson Y.
Bravo to the cast and crew of Annie JR and thanks to all who attended. A HUGE thanks to the families of the participants as well: the holidays are a busy time for all of us- thank you for making this opportunity a priority for your kiddos!
