another rehearsal for their upcoming production of Annie. The musical
boasts the largest cast of any SOMS musical and the actors have been
working hard for months on what promises to be an extremely

cast.

Based on the “Little Orphan Annie” comic strip, Annie is set in
Depression Era New York City at a time when the economy was grim. With
its hopeful message and strong belief that tomorrow will be a better
day, Annie became one of the biggest Broadway musical hits of the
1970s.
