The Sun Sets On A Fabulous Annie

One of the many cast variations of this fine show.  This one featured Jason Chancey  as Oliver Warbucks and Chris Jeffords playing FDR.  The Annie in this cast was the young and talented Sammi Jo Kuhbander.

Playing the dog Sandy at virtually all performances was Chris Kuhbander, who for his age, has been building an incredible acting portfolio, including starring as Pinocchio.

I can't say enough good things about the extraordinary Emily Beck.  Incredibly expressive in whatever role she plays, she knocked it out of the park with her performance as Lilly St. Regis.

Another great cast!  Amara Grace Jeffords as Annie, Chris Jeffords  (our Executive  Director and inspiration), and Kimberly Elizabeth Beck as Grace.

Another great combination features again Kimberly Elizabeth Beck as Grace, but also Johnny Meachum as Daddy Warbucks and Lilly Varnes as Annie.  Both Johnny and Lilly were very expressive in their parts, and made for some great performances.

Kudos to everyone involved in making this such a great show.  I know how difficult it must have been with so many casts and variations.  It must have been maddening getting the right people together for all the rehearsals.  It must have at times to seem like an insane idea to cast so many in the same parts.  But everything threaded together extraordinarily well,  And the most important thing was that so many children got to shine!

Flying Dragon and Annie, I salute you!
