Annie, a widely acclaimed production based on Harold Gray's comic strip "Little Orphan Annie," has won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Known for its songs such as "Tomorrow," "Maybe," and "It’s a Hard Knock Life," the story follows the titular character Annie as she navigates life in New York City in pursuit of her birth parents. Despite obstacles, she finds a new family with billionaire Oliver Warbucks and his secretary Grace Farrell.
In addition to the musical, Lemont High School's Art Department will hold a spring art show in Gallery 306. The gallery, opened in the Fall of 2017, will feature student artwork nightly from May 9 to May 11 between 5:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.
The presentation of Annie at Lemont High School is made possible through a special arrangement with Music Theater International, with all authorized performance materials provided by MTI.
