In 1977, Little Orphan Annie was taken from the funny papers and ra- dio waves to new heights - the Broad- way stage. With music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin and a book by Th omas Meehan, “Annie” won the Tony Award for Best Musical. Running for six years in New York at the Alvin Th eatre, it spawned numer- ous productions in many countries, as well as national tours. With singing and dancing orphans, “Annie” jump started Broadway careers for triple threats Andrea McArdle, Sarah Jessica Parker, Molly Ringwald and Alyssa Milano. Most recently, Lilla Crawford starred in the 2012 revival with Jane Lynch of “Glee” fame appearing as a replacement for Miss Hannigan. Th e Last Resort Players produc- tion promises its own entertaining orphans, along with an adorable, trained dog with one black ear and a sandy coat. Belting out “Hard Knock Life” and “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile” to a live orchestra are local young actors Cassidy Delp, Kendra Delp, Cheyenna Curley, Chloe Aaron, Clara Ledbetter, Eleanor Hand, Sylvia Hand, Matilda Hand, Iriena Khufu, Michaela Butchart and Vera Blas.

Little Orphan Annie, (played by 12 year old Elyse Stewart), runs away from the NYC Municipal orphanage and the clutches of the evil Miss Han- nigan (portrayed by the multi-talented Sabrina Hand). Aft er meeting her new sidekick, Sandy the dog (played by Trudy the dog) and a long day on the streets of New York, Lieutenant Ward (played by savvy Wayne Sharpe) returns Annie to the orphanage. By a twist of fate and lucky timing, Annie is in Hannigan’s offi ce when she is visited by Grace Farrell (played by songbird soprano Joanie Schmidt), secretary to the debonair billion- aire Daddy Warbucks. Grace selects Annie to spend the week at the Warbucks estate as a publicity stunt for the wealthy tycoon (played by accomplished singer and actor, Jim Erickson). Even with a chance to live a life in the lap of luxury, Annie still longs for for the day when she will be reunited with her real parents. Sympathetic Warbucks sets out to fi nd them. With a plot of their own, a couple of charming, street-wise con artists, Rooster and Lilly show up on the scene to whisk Annie away and make a couple of quick bucks. Playing the swarmy Rooster is handsome, new-comer Jake Landers. As his lovely accomplice, actress Karylynn Keppol brings along her own style of stage savvy and razzle dazzle. Along the way we meet Franklin D. Roosevelt (played by seasoned actor Jay Cable) with his debating cabinet members and radio star Bert Healy (also played by virtuoso Wayne Sharpe). Joining them on stage is a mix of amateur and veteran perform- ers that will be taking on roles to com- plete the cast of mansion servants, politicians, Hooverville residents and a colorful scene from New York City. With quick backstage costume changes and fun character portrayals, the ensemble includes: Takla Blas, Crystal Farnsworth, Diana Barry, Ernie Leone, Eryn Morgan, Grant Harmond, Jessalyn Keppol, Jodi Delp, Jodie Cole, Patrick Rowley, Paul Deemer, Phillip Blas, S.L. Greene, Sherri Ford-Mackey, Raelee Dimon and Ron Siebert. Directed by Jennifer Connor with a production team including Beth Johnston, Cathy Dupont, Paula Ziege- lasch, Victoria Seitzinger, Dana Rodet, Kathleen Wenzel and Sabrina Hand. A 12 piece orchestra, conducted by Chris Lewis and pianist Mary Mor- ganti includes: Jim White, Eric Bigler, Gail Nichols, Nancy Kromer, Diedre Henderson, Dan Keppol, Lyndsey Keppol, Jack Spinner, Portia Neff , Ron Green and Nancy Ash.
