Direct from the American Repertory Theatre at Harvard University, 1776 – They knew they would make history, but not what history would make of them.

The Chicago Tribune described Annie as “one of the best family musicals ever penned” – Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package.

Annie will be shown on February 21st and 22nd.
From Lincoln Center Theater and director Bartlett Sher comes “a sumptuous new production of the most perfect musical of all time” (Entertainment Weekly).

Find out on May 1st and 2nd.
