The Cohoes Jr. Drama Club is set to kick off three shows of “Annie Jr.” this weekend, with a cast of 67, crew of 30 and eight student staff.
You won’t want to miss this timeless classic about Annie, a spunky orphan who, after a series of events, is eventually adopted by America’s wealthiest man – Mr. Warbucks. The story is one of determination, optimism, friendship and grit.
“This year, our number of involved students is at an all-time high. We are exceptionally proud of how well the kids are working together to bring this story to life,” said CMS/CHS Chorus and Performing Arts Director Christian Gunn. “With every aspect of the show (besides sound) being run entirely by students, it should be one to be proud of!”
The show will be performed in the Cohoes High School auditorium on the following dates:
- January 12 – 7pm
- January 13 – 7pm
- January 14 – 2pm
Admission is $10. Pre-sale tickets will be sold at the high school on Wednesday, Jan. 10 and Thursday, Jan. 11 from 6pm-7pm in the auditorium.
Day of performance tickets will be sold at the door before the show. Lobby opens 90 minutes prior to showtime; the theater opens 30 minutes before each show.
Annie Jr. runs approximately 90 minutes with one intermission.
The Cohoes High school is located at 1 Tiger Circle, Cohoes, NY 12047.
