Fairfield Footlighters presents ‘Amateurs’
Presented by Rise Up Performing Arts, “Annie Jr.” will be on stage at Sorg Opera House today, Saturday and Sunday. “Annie Jr.” is based on the popular Tony-winning musical, “Annie JR,” and features a score written by Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, including the Broadway smash hit, “Tomorrow.” With a perfect combination of street smarts and optimism, Annie warms the hearts of audiences as we witness her rise from next-to-nothing in New York City. She is determined to find her parents, who left her at the orphanage years ago. However, things don’t quite work out the way she planned. However, she does thwart the plans of evil Miss Hannigan and finds a new family with billionaire Oliver Warbucks, Secretary Grace Farrell, and her lovable pooch, Sandy.
The show is directed by Bill Balfour. Reserved tickets are $15 and can be purchased in advance at riseupperformingarts.com and at sorgoperahouse.org. There will be six performances.
Show times are 7 p.m. today and 2 and 5 p.m. and Sunday
Directed by Kurt Percy, the Lebanon Theatre Company will perform “The Bridges of Madison County” today and Sunday. Francesca Johnson, a beautiful
Italian woman who married an American soldier to flee war-ravaged Italy, looks forward to a rare four days alone on her Iowa farm when her family heads to the 1965 State Fair. When ruggedly handsome, National Geographic photographer, Robert Kincaid, pulls into her driveway seeking directions, though, what happens in those four days may very well alter the course of Francesca’s life.
The cost of tickets are $22 and may be purchased at ltcplays. com. The theater is located at 10 S. Mechanic St. in downtown Lebanon.
