This weekend only Alamance Repertory Theater Company presents "Annie! The Musical". Annie will be presented at Triad Stage in Greensboro May 11-14th at 8:00 on Thursday, 8:00 on Friday, 8:00 on Saturday, and Sunday at 2:00.

For those of you who have not seen this musical based on the "Little Orphan Annie" comics, its about a 11 year old girl who is an orphan in search of her parents. Annie is a 11 year old girl who just wants to find them. In an attempt to leave the orphanage, Annie gets caught by a police man; and is brought back to the orphanage that is run by the horrible Mrs. Hannigan. Mrs. Hannigan meets a woman named Grace who is the private Secretary for Oliver Warbucks. Find out what happens next by attending this wonderful show for one weekend only at Triad!

The show features a wonderful cast including Phoenix Mangus (Oliver Warbucks), Ella Howell (Annie), Jessica Leigh (Mrs. Hannigan), Danielle Aj Storm (Lily St. Regis), Austin Rowland (Rooster Hannigan), and Eliya Watson (Grace Farell).

Music directed by Eliya Watson, and directed by Gill Hope Thornton (Aged 17) this show is sure to be a hit in the area this weekend!

Speaking of Gill Hope Thornton, did you know she is directing, and partial owner of the theater company at the young age of seventeen? She comments on what its like being seventeen and running her company, and being director of this production in this small interview.

Whats it like being seventeen, and running your own theater company?

It's hard. A lot harder than i expected. A lot of pressure is put on you, and i wasn't ready at the time to hold up a company. But with Walter Boyd's help, we are growing every day!

Whats it like directing a cast this large at the age of seventeen?

It's really hard. I think a lot of the cast had a hard time taking me seriously at first. When i showed them it was all business it started to go smoother, and now i have many new friends because of it!

Did you ever think Triad would be the space for the show? Did you consider any other spaces?

Triad was one of the first spaces i was looking at. I never expected to be able to put on a show in a theater space like this.

Tickets for Annie! Can be purchased through Triad Stage by calling (336)-272-0160 or online at http://triadstage.org/tickets. Come see the show!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
