    Annie is thrilled to be bringing the role of Donna Sheridan to life! Annie has been a Mamma Mia fan for quite some time now, and Donna exemplifies the epitome of woman's power and strength. Annie is a rising Senior, and her other High School Credits include Tuck Everlasting (Mae Tuck), Freaky Friday (Ellie Blake), and most recently Bright Star (Alice Murphy). Theater has played a major role in her growth and development, and she is beyond humbled by the opportunities she has been granted thus far. She would like to thank her friends and family for their encouragement, this wonderful cast, Eric and Anna Bragg for their consistent outpour of love and support, and her Heavenly Father, whom none of this is possible without! Immerse yourself in the beauty of this story, the brilliant music of ABBA, and dance the night away with us! Enjoy the show, and may you always feel like a Dancing Queen!

Lawson wants to give a huge thanks to his friends and family for all the support and love they give and the Braggs as well for being like second parents to him and helping him throughout his theatre career. Lastly to God for making this performance possible! Hope you enjoy!
