Annie is a spunky Depression-era orphan determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan.

Footloose

Footloose

Main Stage · August 10-11, 2012

When Ren and his mother move to a small town, Ren is prepared for the adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn't prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher. The heartfelt story that emerges celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

Auditions for actors in grades 9–college will be held on Saturday, May 26th. Online audition sign-ups are now open.
