A cast of 33 participating in Central Lakes College Summer Theatre will present the musical “Annie” July 7 to 24 in 15 performances staged in the Bob Dryden Theatre on the Brainerd campus. Little Orphan Annie jumped out of the funny papers in 1924. The red-haired tyke known for her spunk, energetic personality, and optimistic outlook has become an iconic American heroine. For almost 90 years this little girl and her mongrel dog Sandy, time and time again have rallied to the aid of decent folks who were cowering before treacherous foreigners, mortgage-holders and crime lords. The plot follows an 11-year-old, feisty redhead searching for her parents. With the help of billionaire Oliver Warbucks, the FBI and even President Roosevelt, Annie tirelessly seeks to find her past and along the way lifts the spirit of a depressed nation. The cast includes Annie - Grace Bostrom, Deerwood; Daddy Warbucks - Kevin Yeager, Baxter; Miss Hannigan - Sheila Wonders, Brainerd; Grace Farrell - Jessica Huppler, Onamia; Drake - Justin Jordan, Brainerd; Rooster - Nick Brutscher, Little Falls; Lilly - Kayla Mudgett, Baxter; and FDR - David Wilson, Brainerd.
