Roswell Resident Directs Annie Jr.

Press release: 

Off Broadway Children’s Theatre presents Thomas Meehan, Martin Charnin and Charles Strouse’s ANNIE JR. Friday, December 6th through Sunday, December 15th.

Leapin' Lizards! The popular comic strip heroine Little Orphan Annie takes center stage in ANNIE JR., an adaptation of one of the world's best-loved and most-performed musicals. 

With pluck and positivity, Annie charms everyone she meets despite a next-to-nothing start in the Depression-era New York City of the 1930s. She is determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan.

When billionaire Oliver Warbucks decides to invite an orphan to his mansion for Christmas, Annie gets her chance to experience NYC anew outside the confines of the orphanage. Despite Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, Annie befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and finds a new home alongside Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

Roswell Resident Christian Mayer directs the 44-person cast of kids ranging in ages 6-15 from throughout metro Atlanta.

Caroline Carter appears as Annie. Caroline Carter is in the 7th grade at Cherokee Christian School. Her stage experience includes Seussical the Musical, The House at Pooh Corner, Aladdin, Narnia and others.  

Appearing as Sandy is King Steinberg. King "Sandy" is a 3 year old Great Pyrenees, who was adopted at 12 months from Great Pyrenees Rescue, Atlanta. When not acting, he enjoys eating, taking walks, shedding and playing with his canine sister Winnie.
