Andrews Middle School to Present ‘Annie, Jr.’ Musical in June

The Andrews Middle School Drama Club is proud to announce this year’s musical – Annie Jr., a Tony-award winning musical filled with memorable songs, spectacular dances, and a heartwarming story. Over 100 students will take the stage at the McGlynn Auditorium on Friday, June 10 and Saturday, June 11.

Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a beloved book and score by Tony Award-winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, 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 1930s 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.

Tickets for Annie JR. can be purchased by emailing sgrant@medford.k12.ma.us or at the door before each performance. Prices are $6 for students and $12 for adults. Performance times are 7:00 p.m. For further information email Sarah Grant at sgrant@medford.k12.ma.us.
