The Moorestown Theater Company (MTC) will present New Jersey’s first ‘Penguin Project’ production of “Annie JR.” at the First United Methodist Church’s Fellowship Hall (FUMC) at 446 E. Camden Avenue on Saturday, April 29, at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, April 30, at 2 p.m.
In “Annie JR.” MTC’s 14-member student cast of neurodiverse children, plus six mentors who are typical children, will bring to life the musical version of Little Orphan Annie, who stands up to her bullying leader of her orphanage, Miss Hannigan, goes to live with Mr. Oliver (Daddy) Warbucks, and saves the day for her fellow orphans.
This musical, which features such great songs as “Hard Knock Life”; “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile”; “Easy Street”; and “Tomorrow” is appropriate for audience members of all ages.
Reserved seat tickets are $13 per person and can be purchased at www.MoorestownTheaterCompany.org or at the door. Questions about this musical, or about MTC in general, can be answered by calling (856) 778-8357.
