MTVarts presents 2 productions of Annie this weekend.

Join MTVArts and First Knox National Bank as they take you to New York City with their productions of Annie Jr. and Annie Kids!
It’s the classic heartwarming story of Annie, and her attempts to escape the hard knock life of the orphanage.

The Morning Thing talked with Megan Campbell and Andrew Ruckman about their upcoming performances. Click HERE to hear our conversation with Annie and Mr. Warbucks.

Performances will be held at the Knox County Memorial Theatre. You will have the chance to see two different casts performing two adaptations of the award-winning musical.

Annie Jr is a 90 minute performance at 7:30 PM on Friday, September 21 and Saturday, September 22 and at 2:00 PM on Sunday, September 23. Tickets are $15.

Annie Kids is a 45 minute performance, the perfect introduction to live theatre for a young audience member. Shows are 7:30 PM on Thursday, September 20 and 2:00 PM Saturday, September 22. Tickets for these performances are $10.

Tomorrow may be only a day away, but tickets for both shows are available now at the First Knox National Bank Main Office in Mount Vernon, or online at MTVArts.com! Purchase a ticket for both shows and save $5. Just click on the Packages button of the Upcoming Events Tab.
