Parker, Strouse, Etc. Featured in Annie Documentary

Annie creators Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, as well as former stage orphan Sarah Jessica Parker, are among those appearing in Julie Stevens' new documentary film Life After Tomorrow.

Stevens played Pepper during the original Broadway run of Annie.  She co-directed the film with Gil Cates, Jr.

Also featuring performers Martha Bryne and Alison Smith, songwriter Danielle Brisebois, MSNBC anchor Dara Brown, and recording artist Joanna Pacitti, the film will debut at New York's Museum of Television and Radio on October 21st before airing on Showtime on December 24th and 25th. 

Parker ("Sex and the City," Once Upon a Mattress), now a world-famous stage, TV and screen star, played the role of Annie during the show's original run.  Strouse wrote the 1977 show's Tony Award-winning score with Charnin.  Annie also features a Tony-winning book by Thomas Meehan.

The film features the participation of "fans, agents, adult cast members and a new generation of Annie orphans," state press notes.  Steven and Cates, Jr. "spoke with over 40 women who played orphans in the show during its original run on Broadway, from 1977-1983. The film explores the life-changing repercussions of child performers in Annie as many orphan cast members revisit their experience in the show, their childhood, family support structure, what happened when they left the show and tried to resume a 'normal' childhood, and what they are doing today."
