Follow a plucky young orphan—that would be Annie, of course—as Cambria Center for the Arts presents the beloved musical that has captured the hearts of audiences for generations.

Directed by Bruce Prunty, the production runs two weekends on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays July 26 to August 4 with a special performance on Thursday, August 1.

Set in the 1930s during the Great Depression, the story follows a girl who dreams of finding her parents. With her signature red hair and indomitable spirit, Annie escapes the orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan, embarking on an adventure that leads her to the doorstep of the wealthy and kind-hearted Oliver Warbucks.

Along the way, Annie’s optimism and charm win over everyone she meets, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Featuring classic songs like “Tomorrow,” “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” and “Maybe,” Annie is a tale of resilience, hope, and the power of family.
