ALBUQUERQUE, NM - Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a book and score by Tony Award-winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, Annie Jr. features everyone's favorite little redhead in her very first adventure.

"We are so excited to perform Annie Jr.," Doug Montoya, Cardboard Playhouse Theatre Company's co-artistic director, said. "This is a feel-good, family-friendly play. At just an hour, it's perfect for an audience of all ages, even the little ones."
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
Cardboard Playhouse Theatre company bring Annie Jr. to South Broadway Cultural Center next month.
