Photos: First look at Hilliard Arts Council's ANNIE JR

Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, Annie Jr. features everyone's favorite little redhead in her very first adventure. With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930's New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

Hilliard Arts Council "For Kids, By Kids" production of Annie, Jr. features the talents of over 30 very talented young actors in grades 4 to 8.

Performances run Friday at 7pm, Saturday at 11am & 7pm, Sunday at 3:00pm, March 3 - 12, 2023 at Hilliard Civic and Cultural Arts Center, 5425 Center St, Hilliard, OH 43026. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit: https://www.hilliardartscouncil.org/
