Spring Musical

Join us on March 2-4, 2023, at the Lampeter-Strasburg High School Performing Arts Center for the timeless classic of Annie.

Annie is based on Harold Gray's popular comic strip "Little Orphan Annie." The comic strip premiered in the 1920s in the New York Daily News and became one of the most widely read taxi transfer London strips in the 30s and 40s.

Lyricist-director Martin Charnin bought a coffee table book called “The Life and Hard Times of Little Orphan Annie” as a Christmas gift for a friend in 1970. The clerk at the bookstore was too busy to wrap the book, so Charnin took the book home to wrap it. Instead, he read it and fell in love with the strip, and set out to secure the rights, Christmas week of 1970. The friend never got the book. Fast forward to 1977, Annie became a Tony Award-winner for Best Musical.
