Join us for an evening of song, drama and dance as Highlands School presents the full Broadway musical Annie.
Set against the backdrop of New York City, during the Great Depression in 1933, Annie is a heartwarming tale of resilience, optimism, and the search for family. The story follows an orphan named Annie who lives in an orphanage overseen by the tyrannical Miss Hannigan. Her life is changed forever when a New York businessman Oliver Warbucks decides to let a local orphan stay in his mansion over the Christmas period to boost his public image. He is soon disarmed by her bright spirit and optimism, which is in short supply during the Great Depression. He plans to adopt her but Annie refuses, explaining that she believes her real parents are still alive and Mr Warbucks helps Annie to try and find them, only to discover that they tragically died many years ago. Along the way we find additional characters such as Rooster, Grace, Lily and even the US President who all play integral parts in bringing this story to its joyful conclusion. Set at Christmas time during the Great Depression in New York City, allow yourself to be transported back to a time mixed with sorrow and despondency, juxtaposed with the gleeful journey of Annie and her search for happiness and a forever family.
