"Annie Jr." tells the story of a little orphan girl named Annie. The cruel orphanage matron, Miss Hannigan, treats the girls like servants, but Annie clings to the hope of finding her parents. When local billionaire Oliver Warbucks invites Annie to stay with him for Christmas, she accepts and is whisked away into the world of the rich. But when a reward for anyone proven to be Annie’s parents is issued, evil schemers attempt to take her for the money. Will the greedy claim her, or will she finally find her real family?
Margaret Leatherman, a director at Bright Life Players, has assisted in directing "Annie Jr." This is the eleventh production she has directed while working with Wooster Christian School.
“It’s a pleasure to work here because the staff is always courteous and they go beyond the expected,” Leatherman said. “I think it’s a blessing to be here and participate and to build relationships with the kids.”
Violet Fridley, starring as Annie, said her favorite part about being included in the play is all the memories.
One of Wooster Christian’s seniors, Sadie Hinkle, enjoys playing Miss Hannigan. When asked about her favorite scenes, she said, “Either Together at Last or Little Girls because I get to be completely obnoxious, but it’s my character, so I can get away with it.”
