ANNIE I Continued from Front

The Round Bam Theatre at Amish Acres will present "Annie," one of America's most beloved and enduring musicals, from Nov. 9 through Dec 31. The classic musical comedy is set at Christmastime, 1933 in New York City. Annie finds refuge from an orphanage run by the cynical Miss Hannigan when billionaire Oliver Warbucks invites her to spend the holidays with him. Magic and adventure follow as Annie transforms those around her. With help from her fellow orphans, she spoils Miss Hannigan's evil plots and discovers the true meaning of family. The popular score of "Annie" includes "Maybe," "It's the Hard Knock Life," "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile," "Easy Street" and the famous 'Tomorrow." Ames was chosen from an opencall audition in Nappanee. She brings an extensive resume of experience to the role of Annie, unusual for one so young. Ames is from Valparaiso, and has been acting and singing since she was 4. Her passion has always been singing and acting. She hopes to attend Julliard and dreams of one day performing on Broadway. The production is under the direction of Round Bam managing artistic director Ryan Schisler, with choreography by artistic director Jerry O'Boyle. Alejandro Gutierrez provides musical direction. The design team is led by set designer Richard Pletcher, Karen
