Based on the popular comic strip Little Orphan Annie by Harold Gray, “Annie” first came to the Broadway stage in 1977 where it ran for nearly six years. It has since had two Broadway revivals and several national tours. The original Broadway production was nominated for 11 Tony Awards winning 7 Tony’s including Best Musical and Best Score. In 1982, the Broadway Musical Annie was adapted into a screen version which earned Aileen Quinn, who played Annie, and Carol Burnett, who played Miss Hannigan, each a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.

The Children’s Theatre of Mason will be accepting contributions, as well as donating a portion of the proceeds from the shows, to Circle Tail, Inc. Circle Tail’s mission is to provide service and hearing dogs for people with disabilities at no cost to the individual.
