Sunbury Performing Arts will make its theater debut with the classic and heartwarming story of Annie Jr. Dec. 1 and Dec. 2

Annie Jr. features everyone’s favorite little redhead in her very first adventure. 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 personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

SPA is partnering with Bed Brigade to collect new TwinXL sheets, blankets, pillows and stuffed animals to provide to local children without beds in central Ohio. Bring a donation and receive raffle tickets as a thank you!

Performances will take place at 7 p.m. Dec. 1, and at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Dec. 2, in the theater in Big Walnut High School, 713 North Miller Drive, Sunbury, OH 43074.
