Why wait for “Tomorrow, tomorrow”? – Go today and see MCT Community Series production of Annie at Missoula Children’s Theatre performances thru December 21

Not every popular comic strip makes the leap from page to stage, but then not every orphan living in “N.Y.C.” is named Annie! Winning hearts on “Easy Street” in New York City all the way to the FDR White House, Annie is a story of how a “Hard Knock Life” can become a hopeful “Tomorrow” if you remember you’re “Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.” Even during the Depression, this story manages to deliver hope in the form of a young girl full of determined, unrelenting optimism. There is no shortage of familiar songs and you’ll be tempted to sing along. MCT is thrilled to ring in the Holidays with one of the world’s most delightful musicals!

Book by THOMAS MEEHAN • Music by CHARLES STROUSE • Lyrics by MARTIN CHARNIN Original Broadway Production Directed by MARTIN CHARNIN Based on “Little Orphan Annie”® By Permission of The Tribune Media Services, Inc.ANNIE is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
