SUMMARY:Broadway in the Basin Presents Annie
DESCRIPTION:Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination\, and sometimes\, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package.

This celebration of family\, optimism and the American spirit remains the ultimate cure for all the hard knocks life throws your way.
