It's a Hard-Knock Life: from Script to Stage


What happens when the poorest girl in the world meets the richest man in the world? This question is answered in the classic story of ANNIE the Musical [link: http://www.anniethemusical.com/]. Learn more about the history of ANNIE by visiting the PBS Annie site [link: http://pbs.org/annie]. Be sure to check out the old-timey radio show all about our favorite red head! [link: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/annie/index.html#listen-annie-history].

Set your DVRs or plan to kick back and relax by watching the PBS documentary, “It’s The Hard Knock Life: From Script to Stage” which premieres on June 28 at 9 pm . The adorable orphans will certainly steal your heart as they sing and dance their way from the rehearsal hall to Opening Night!

It's hard knock life....

but it's also so much fun- especially when you get to rehearse with such talented people.

I haven't posted much lately because I have been knee deep in orphans for our upcoming production of "ANNIE"

This are going well. In fact we are right on schedule for rehearsals and little bit ahead of schedule for sets and props. Two weeks ago I took this video of my orphans learning the choreography  to "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" this video was taken on day three of rehearsals. I am so proud of my Orphalins!

 
 I think the Orphans are going to steal the show!
