JUPITER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL – Annie Jr. was performed by JCS students on Friday April 19th and Saturday April 20th. Annie Jr. is a shortened version of the film “Annie.” It was adapted to be performed by a younger cast. The work each cast member put in over the last three months was proven to be fruitful and it was seen each time the play was performed.

The cast of Annie Jr. practiced two times a week, every week for the past few months. Over this time, the cast members memorized the songs and lines they were given and recited them repeatedly. The play takes place in 1930s New York where an orphan named Annie runs away from her orphanage in hope of finding her parents. This is because the orphanage was run a by a cruel woman named Miss Hannigan. Throughout the course of the play, Annie’s determination to find her parents led her to get adopted by a man named Oliver Warbucks and live a cozy life with his secretary and her dog named Sandy. The cast consisted of 32 people, 11 crew members, and they received assistance from the JCS staff. The play took place at Generation Church. Cast members sang a total of 16 songs throughout the production.

All in all, the performance of Annie Jr. was an excellent showcase of the talent and skills of each individual cast member. Each role was executed with confidence and it was evident that each cast member invested their time in the play. Annie Jr. was an entertaining experience that left viewers feeling great!
