Upcoming SVPA Productions

Annie!

Presented by Scotts Valley Performing Arts
Directed by Paul Sawyer
Choreographed by Jennifer Gorgulho
Produced by Ray Gorski and Ben Woods

Coming to Scotts Valley and the Williams Center at Olivet University is the musical theatre classic, Annie! From the same company and director that brought you the rip-roaring fun of Annie Get Your Gun comes your favorite red-headed dreamer along with the nasty Miss Hannigan, the prosperous tycoon Oliver Warbucks, his lovely assistant Grace Farrell, the con-artist team of Rooster Hannigan and Lily St. Regis, and all those adorable little orphans!

Annie is a tale that goes beyond the recognizable tunes, the unforgettable movie adaptation, and the lovable dog. It is a story of hope: amidst loneliness, sorrow, darkness, insurmountable odds and the depths of utter hopelessness itself. SVPA’s Annie is about optimism, joy, family, and love, all contained in the fun and flash of an energetic, fast paced, professional-quality production.

Scotts Valley Performing Arts is proud to present Annie, the latest offering in a history of community-based productions which blend the best local talent with regional professionals to create truly engaging theatre right at your doorstep.

The Broadway Cabaret will showcase a wide variety of local talent including Ashley Rae and Hillary Little from Cabrillo Stage, Joyce Michaelson and Susan Boes of Um Gee Um, Eleanor Hunter, Christina Cree and Brie Michaud, Geoff (Buffalo Bill Cody from Annie Get Your Gun) and Bobbie Ward, David Jackson and Zina Urquhart from Annie Get Your Gun, and Sandi Stoltenkamp from Santa Cruz Follies. The SVPA Youth Shakespeare group will present a short "montage" from its summer production of Romeo and Juliet, CYT will be performing a selection from Snoopy: the Musical, and Steps will also perform.

The silent auction will offer attendees the opportunity to get great deals on a number of special items, which include a group dinner at an Aptos beach house, Adventure Sports gift certificate, Sky High Jump certificates, and jewelry just to name a few. Money raised from the auction will be used to support upcoming 2012 productions, including the Youth Shakespeare program and its fall musical, Annie.
