The Annie Russell Theatre at Rollins College closes its 84th season with Urinetown, The Musical.

A PIECE OF MY HEART Examines War and Women at the Annie Russell
The Annie Russell Theatre at Rollins College continues its 84th season with A Piece of My Heart, a drama based on the true stories of six women who served in Vietnam.

Featuring the unforgettable music of the era, the play is a breathtaking examination of the far-reaching costs of war.
