Glacier

THIS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY!
Capital Area Productions announces auditions for....


 Coming July 10, 11, 12, & 13, 2008 to GENET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, Route 4, East Greenbush

Based on the popular comic strip, Annie Junior tells of 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 Miss Hannigan. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, befriends President Franklin Roosevelt and finds a new family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell and a lovable mutt named Sandy. Its upbeat plot and flamboyant characters have made Annie one of the most beloved musicals in history. What girl hasn't dreamed of assuming the title role or playing the outrageous Miss Hannigan?
