Ri and I just finished the final production of Annie Jr. with Parkway Playhouse Jr. I played the role of Grace Farrell, private secretary to the billionaire Oliver Warbucks. We did three shows in total and they all went super well! Grammy, Poppop, Aunt Elizabeth and even Max, Nina and Beth came as well as a lot of the Burnsville community. ~Aneka
Aneka and I just finished Annie Jr., a show of Parkway Playhouse Jr. This was my first production for Parkway Playhouse Jr., and my first ever musical. I really liked it! I made a lot of friends, and I am planing to do more productions with Parkway Playhouse Jr. I played two roles in the play. The first one was a servant for the billionaire Oliver Warbucks. The other role I played was President Roosevelt's adviser/bodyguard, Louis Howe. I had a lot of fun and I hope to do more plays in the future. ~Rigel
Aneka's Actor Spotlight:
The character I play is Grace Farrell, private secretary to Olivier Warbucks. She is very proper, super organized and charged with the task of attending to Warbucks’s every need. She also shows a more maternal side when she’s with Annie. I really like kids and perhaps that’s one thing I have in common with Grace. I’m not sure how I would like her job though: having to be in charge of everybody and their jobs, seems like a huge pressure. Also, I don’t know if I could do everything Warbucks told me to without a question. This musical has been really fun and thanks to all our wonderful directors I have learned a lot! Parkway Playhouse has really taught me to be more confident in myself. Although learning new things may be intimidating, I think that it really helps boost my confidence. I’ve learned so much that I can put in my “toolbox” and the things I have learned have really helped me outside of theater as well.
Rigel's Actor Spotlight:
I really like being a part of the Annie Jr. cast because of all the great people I get to work with. It’s really fun getting know everyone. I like playing the warm up games; my favorite is probably Garden Statues. I’ve learned a lot from everyone too. One thing that really stuck with me was “go big or go home.” I think one of the biggest challenges for me right now is the fact that this is the first time I’ve been in a musical production and there is a lot to learn!
