The Leddy Center Presents ANNIE 10/29-11/14

Maybe far away, or maybe real nearby.." Happily, Leddy Center's production of Strouse and Charnin's Tony Award-winning musical, ANNIE, falls into the "nearby" category on two counts: the start date is October 29, and the location is Leddy Center's new beautiful theater at Verdant Pastures on Ladd's Lane off Route 27 in Epping, NH. Route 27 is accessible from both Route 125 and Route 101 in Epping.

Directed by Elaine Gatchell with musical direction by J. Bruce Gatchell, this production of ANNIE is guaranteed to please with its phenomenal cast lineup. Seven year old Nen Horan of Sandown, is our petite and delightfully talented Annie who will win hearts young and old with her performance. Don LaDuke of Litchfield is the powerful billionaire, Daddy Warbucks, (having made his billions on war profits), and Jennifer Cardin of Dover is the lovely Grace Ferrell. Sheila Allen-Harris of Epping is the formidable orphan mistress, Miss Hannigan, Mark Tuomanen (Willy Wonka last fall at Leddy) is the ruthless sleezy Rooster, and Elizabeth Holcomb of Exeter is Lily St. Regis. Bruce Gatchell will be portraying President Roosevelt, complete with wooden wheelchair of that era. Daisy McMahon of Exeter will be Sandy. Exeter Hospital sponsors this wonderful Broadway musical for the whole family at Leddy Center.
