----------

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 secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

About Brea's Youth Theatre

Produced in partnership with Stagelight Family Productions, Brea’s Youth Theatre has brought the joy of theatre to children and their families for well over 30 years. Through the art and practice of live performance, children and teens work as a team with seasoned actors and educators in the community to bring some of Broadway’s most notable musicals to a live audience. Throughout the rehearsal process, participants learn the value of teamwork while building confidence and lasting friendships. Truly an experience for the entire family, each production brings the opportunity for parents to contribute their own talents through a variety of volunteer projects that support the fun onstage. With two annual productions, there are plenty of opportunities for young performers to participate.
