The classic musical “Annie” will be performed at the Opera House from Sunday through Jan. 5, 2020, by the theater group Sing for America, of the Lehigh Valley.

Proceeds will benefit military families in the Lehigh Valley.

“Annie” is a Broadway musical based upon the newspaper strip “Little Orphan Annie,” created by Harold Gray in 1924. The plot of the comic strip follows the adventures of Annie, who wanders throughout a world full of immorality, her dog Sandy, and her supporter Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks.

Now, many years later, the musical is set in the time of the Great Depression in New York City, when Gray originally wrote the strip, and the character of Annie has always been sympathetic and optimistic.

There will be two performances Sunday, Dec. 27 and 28, and Jan. 2 and 4, and one performance on Dec. 26 and 29 and Jan. 1, 3 and 5.
