Middle Schoolers Put on 'Annie Play Will Do'

Richfield Middle School actors and actresses recently put on "Annie Play Will Do" before packed houses this week.

Here's a little synopsis of the show, as told by the schoo'sl theater department:

Because of a miscommunication with the principal, high school drama teacher Mr. Morris finds himself with only one day to cast, stage and perform the school play.

In desperation, he turns to his two best students, Paul and Laura, to take charge and co-direct the show, unaware that the two are in the middle of a nasty break-up and are no longer speaking.

Things go from bad to much, much worse when Paul and Laura, practicing with their friends independently, don't realize they are rehearsing for different shows, "Little Orphan Annie" and "Annie Get Your Gun." And the problem isn't discovered until the curtain opens.

It's a theater nightmare brought hilariously to life.

With leading roles, Sofia Lewis took on the character Laura, while and Ja'Shon Gill played Paul. It was the first production at Richfield Middle School organized and directed by Wally Emery.
