FROM THE DIRECTOR “The sun’ll come out tomorrow.”

If ever there was a year that taught me the value of believing in a brighter future, this was it. Cliché as it may sound, hope and faith for a better “tomorrow” are what get us through the darkest of times. The message of this iconic song resonated with audiences in 1977, and still does today.

This show takes place in 1933 during the Great Depression. Here we are in 2021 with many parallels and similar challenges. Annie is a timely reminder that genuine optimism is contagious. Even grouchy, jaded Oliver Warbucks can’t help but soften after just a few minutes of Annie’s bubbly, youthful positivity.

Now, I don’t consider myself Warbucks-level grouchy, but I must say that these middle school students have truly been one of the brightest spots in the past year for me. They cheerfully filmed their audition videos from home, committed to learning music and choreography over—you guessed it—Zoom, did an excellent job pre-recording their vocals in goofy-looking singer’s masks, and never once complained about the out-of-the-box way in which we had to rehearse and film this production. This FRA cast will go down in history as the first to pull off a musical in a pandemic, and I think that’s pretty special!

Students, I know that one of the best parts of being in a musical is getting to bond as one big cast, and I know that was not possible to do this year.

However, in every rehearsal, whether virtual or in person, you showed grace, gratitude, enthusiasm, and extraordinary work ethic. Thank you for being patient with me when I sometimes stood onstage stumped as to how we could stage a scene with everyone at least six feet apart. Thank you for everything. I hope you are as proud of yourselves as I am of you.

Love,

Mrs. Mia
