The Elkader Opera House Players are excited to bring Annie the Musical to the stage this December. Set in 1930s New York City, Annie tells the story of a spirited young orphan determined to find her parents and a place to belong. Along the way, she crosses paths with the wealthy Oliver Warbucks, the kind-hearted Grace Farrell, and the unforgettable Miss Hannigan.
Filled with humor, heart, and well-known songs like “Tomorrow,” Annie is a show that brings together performers of all ages and experience levels. Whether you have been on stage before or are trying it for the first time, this is a great opportunity to be part of a fun and rewarding production.
Directed by Cheri Moser
