"Ms. Warbucks The Musical" by Caroline Helm & Bonny McDonald

Leapin’ Lizards! Ever wondered what happened to little orphan Annie? In this musical inspired by Harold’s Gray’s cartoon, it’s 1961 and Annie is all grown up. She goes by “Ms. Warbucks” now. She’s thirty-nine, single, and still the spunky rabble-rouser we all know and love. Every Thursday, she visits her former orphanage director who lives in a nursing home. In this setting, Annie recognizes the same struggles she faced as a child: institutionalization, abandonment, and above all, a longing for family. The old folks are the orphans now. An activist trying to care for the elderly, Annie faces a corrupt system. To succeed, she must face her own need for love and belonging.
