2025-26 Season

Opening Night is Friday, July 17, 2026

Annie by Charles Strouse is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.

ANNIE, the 2026 Summer Musical, tells the extraordinary story of a little orphan who ends up in the lap of luxury with Depression-era billionaire Oliver Warbucks (played by Nikolaas Van Kley). Unlike most of the other children at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage, spunky Annie (Cadence Glazener) believes that her parents are still alive and will one day return to claim her. 

So, when Mr. Warbucks offers to adopt her, she asks the most powerful man in America to help find her real mom and dad instead, and he agrees. Warbucks’ whopping reward for Annie’s parents attracts the attention of con artists Rooster (Riley Nichols), Lily (V Couch) and the wicked Miss Hannigan (Jessie Licht), who hatch a plot to kidnap Annie and take the $50,000 reward.

The cast also includes Lexi Moore (as Grace), River Delcambre (Bundles), Pablo Morones (Lt Ward & Judge Brandeis), Mark Hooker (Roosevelt), Heath McCormack (Drake), Faith Kolosci (Star-to-be), Cristoban Morones (Bert Healy), Jeremiah Winslett (Jimmie Johnson), Adan Morones (Fred McCracken), David Morones (Sound Effects Guy), Maximus Everett (Apple Seller), Scott Parrish (Dog Catcher), and Stihl Adams (Assistant Dog Catcher).

Playing the Boylan Sisters will be Katherine Parrish Whitbeck, Amy Helmke, Samantha Johnson, Kenzi Hawkins, and Emily Cosby.
