The musical is filled with songs such as " It's A Hard Knock Life" and" The Sun will Come Out Tomorrow."
Language arts teacher Jessica Reitnauer is directing, with Musical Director Alina Prall and social studies teacher Mike Palazzo, who is handling stage crew.
"It's a team effort," said Reitnauer last week, as the students readied for a dress rehearsal. Her yellow lab Russ has a role in the production.
Sixth grader Skylar Gutman plays Annie.
"I was really happy when I got [the role]," said Gutman, whose long blonde hair was tucked into a red curly wig at rehearsals. "I screamed, literally."
Reitnauer said she chose "Annie Jr." because it's familiar and fun. She said the production is filled with lively scenes.
"These kids do an amazing job," she said.
