But Annie, fellow orphan and the ultimate optimist, and her sweet pup Sandy, lead them to still believe in “Tomorrow” even if today is “The Hard Knock Life.” When Annie has the chance to move in with Billionaire Oliver Warbucks, the ever-efficient Grace Farrell, and their incredible staff, Cecille, Annette, Drake, and Mrs. Pugh, she can’t believe her luck. But even in the face of the grumpy orphanage owner Ms. Hannigan and the evil schemes of her brother Rooster, and Lily St. Regis (like the hotel), Annie, her orphan pals, and radio stars, Bert and Bette, remind us all “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.” Broadway Highlights is a one-week engaging musical theater experience showcasing each actor’s unique talents, specifically designed for ages 8-12. An inspiring Skyline Teaching Artist “highlights” the abilities of every actor through a short script and beloved songs that also “highlight” the best moments of the show. Broadway Highlights will learn how to stage a show and memorize lines during a compact rehearsal process, audition for solos, and dance in fully staged musical numbers. In addition to show rehearsals, days will be packed with playing drama games, crafting set elements, and fun in the sun with friends while visiting the park for outdoor lunch and recess. Actors will be motivated throughout their camp by the anticipation and shared goal of presenting their show with lights, sound, and scenery. Every actor will feel the thrill of make believe, the glow of lighting up the stage, and pride in their hard work coming together as they perform for friends and family on the final date of their camp.
