It’s Christmas Eve and everyone’s looking for a miracle. Two bumbling fugitives want help proving their innocence, the deputy DA wants a date, and Fred wants a vacation away from his overbearing mother. Private investigator Cactus O’Riley just wants a quiet night and a career change. What she gets instead is a merry, manic mystery that turns her life upside down, but might just prove the biggest miracle yet.

This November 13, 14, 20 & 21, Annie will grace the stage of Eleanor Roosevelt High School! This inspiring tale of an optimistic orphan girl is a classic beloved by all. It tells the extraordinary story of a little orphan who spends ends up in the lap of luxury with Depression-era billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Unlike most of the other children at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage, spunky Annie believes that her parents are still alive and will one day return to claim her. So when Mr. Warbucks offers to adopt her, she asks the most powerful man in America to help find her real mom and dad instead, and he agrees. Warbucks’ whopping reward for Annie’s parents attracts the attention of con artists Rooster, Lily and the wicked Miss Hannigan, who hatch a plot to kidnap Annie and take the $50,000 reward. All of us at ERHS Drama sincerely look forward to giving you a show you’ll enjoy!

In one corner is Daphna, a “Real Jew” who is volatile, self assured, and unbending. In the other is her equally stubborn cousin Liam, a secular and entitled young man, who has his shiksa girlfriend, Melody, in tow. Stuck in the middle is Liam’s brother Jonah, who tries to stay out of the fray. When Liam stakes claim to their grandfather’s Chai necklace, a vicious and hilarious brawl over family, faith, and legacy ensues.
