Charming characters and themes the whole family can appreciate are the reason Annie is one of the most loved musicals of all time. Iconic songs such as “Tomorrow” and “It’s the Hard Knock Life” will be stuck in your head. Theater director and director of this national tour of Annie Jenn Thompson says Annie is a brand of optimism that isn’t a cliché, “It’s a light turned on in a cold, dark night. And my goodness, don’t we need that more now than ever?”

The hilarious Tootsie tells the story of Michael Dorsey—an actor who struggles to find work until he lands a role of a lifetime. “Having been in show business for a while, I totally understand that ominous question we all eventually face—what happens when the time comes that no one wants you…it’s something that haunts everyone in show business,” says Robert Horn, writer of the Tony Award–winning book. “To me, that was a story worth building on.”
