For Anna and Abby

Last night was amazing, they nailed it! I’m so proud to be part of the Annie cast and crew. They worked so hard and it all paid off. Before the play Darren, the director, gave a pep talk and then we all came in for a huddle; everyone, all 35 of us, reached our hands inContinue reading “For Anna and Abby”
