Annie at SCR!
07.22.13
Local students will be performing in the beloved musical “Annie” on August 10-11 and 17-18 on the Julianne Argyros Stage through the South Coast Repertory’s Summer Players. The stars of the show participate in SCR’s Kids and Teen Acting Program and were chosen by Theatre Conservatory Director Hisa Takakuwa, with music direction by Erin McNally.
Students come from Corona del Mar, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Ladera Ranch, Laguna Niguel, Las Flores, Long Beach, Los Alamitos, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Orange, Rancho Santa Margarita, Riverside, San Clemente, Seal Beach, Silverado and Trabuco Canyon.
“We are thrilled that SCR Literary Assistant Andrew Knight will help the actors understand the context of the play and tie the 1930s to issues resulting from today’s recession, including unemployment, homelessness and poverty,” Takakuwa said. “The goal of our cast is for audience members to be caught up in Annie’s optimism and know—as she does—that a new day will always dawn, bringing hope for the future.”
Performance are scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 10 and 17, at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 11 and 18, at 1p.m. and 5pm
Tickets: $12 (children) and $15 (adults) may be purchased through the SCR Box Office at 714.708.5555 or online at www.scr.org.
