Following last Year’s epic production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Queen’s College Middle School students are taking on the smash-hit, Broadway musical ANNIE JR.

Our talented team will be delivering a high-octane all-singing, all dancing blockbuster. Based on the popular comic strip, Annie tells the extraordinary story of a little orphan who spends ends up in the lap of luxury with Depression-era billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Unlike most of the other children at Miss Hannigan's orphanage, feisty Annie believes that her parents are still alive and will one day return to claim her. So when Mr. Warbucks offers to adopt her, she asks the most powerful man in America to help find her real mom and dad instead, and he agrees. Warbucks' whopping reward for Annie's parents attracts the attention of con artists Rooster, Lily and the wicked Miss Hannigan, who hatch a plot to kidnap Annie and take the $50,000 reward.

To celebrate the birth of the Taunton Thespians in 1928 and ninety nifty years, this high octane, high energy production will be set in the “Roaring” Twenties. What a great reason for a party - and what a party! Think flappers, think jazz, think decadence… (Oh, and there’s a dog too. He’s called Crab.)

One of Shakespeare’s most charming and least performed comedies, draped in gorgeous period costumes and set to lively Jazz Age music, will be coming to Queen’s as part of their summer tour. Bring friends, chairs and a picnic, and prepare for Shakespeare as you’ve never seen it before – absolutely the cat's meow, darling. (But don’t tell Crab…)
