Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

As the final show of their 29th season, Valley Youth Theatre (VYT) will present the universally beloved Annie, the Musical, from June 15 through July 1, at the Herberger Theater Center.

Presented by Grand Canyon University and sponsored in part by Pono Construction and Mobile Mini, this is the fifth time Valley Youth Theatre has presented Annie, a production that is very dear to Producing Artistic Director, Bobb Cooper. This is the fourth time Cooper has produced, directed and played the role of Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks.  It’s also the fourth time Resident Costume Designer, Karol Cooper, has designed all of the costumes and portrayed stern orphanage caretaker, Miss Hannigan. 

Plucky, fearless and optimistic, Annie exemplifies the same attributes as children dealing with cancer and other life-threatening medical conditions.  Which is why VYT has partnered with HopeKids, once again, to give these courageous boys and girls an event to remember: attending the June 14 dress rehearsal of Annie, free of charge.

Thanks to VYT’s ongoing tradition of inviting HopeKids to the last dress rehearsal before every show opens, more than 500 HopeKids and their parents have seen live productions, this season, alone. 

Tickets for Annie range from $16.50 to $35.50 and can be purchased via telephone at 602.252.8497 or online, for an additional fee, at www.HerbergerTheater.org.
