Leapin’ Lizards! The popular comic strip heroine and her cohorts have been working diligently behind the scenes over the past few weeks on the upcoming live musical theatre production of, "Annie". The show opens Thanksgiving weekend and runs though December 8th, 2013. Here are a few behind the scenes for you to see what we have been up to.

Junior Marketing Team discussing photo shoot plan 

Several nights a week, groups of families come together at Chanhassen High School to work on the show. Part of the team focuses on character development, vocal work and choreography while another group of volunteers works on marketing and technical aspects of the show. A good time is always had by all!

Warm-ups and calesthenics

In addition to the 75 people in the cast and the 20 person live orchestra, the show also welcomes another 80+ volunteers working on a variety of other aspects of the show- including box office, marketing, finance, facility, lights, sound and more.

This past week was spent on the above mentioned plus a photo shoot, and an Orphan Boot Camp. The camp, designed and run by Director Kyle Thomas and Choreographer, Elly Stalke, welcomed more than 30 orphans and even more volunteers to a day of learning and fun. The girls happily sang, and danced the day away, tried on costumes and even found time to write thank ou notes as well. All in all the day was a huge success!
