OHP Presents: Annie

About this event

The Elkader Opera House Players are excited to bring Annie the Musical to the stage this December. Set in 1930s New York City, Annie tells the story of a spirited young orphan determined to find her parents and a place to belong. Along the way, she crosses paths with the wealthy Oliver Warbucks, the kind-hearted Grace Farrell, and the unforgettable Miss Hannigan. Filled with humor, heart, and well-known songs like “Tomorrow,” Annie is a show that brings together performers of all ages and experience levels. Whether you have been on stage before or are trying it for the first time, this is a great opportunity to be part of a fun and rewarding production.
