7th & 8th Grade Musical:

The 7th and 8th grade students of OCCS are excited to bring you the songs and story of Annie Jr. on Thursday, March 27, at 1:30 and 7:00pm at the Unity Knight Center. 


Set in 1930s New York City, Annie Jr. follows the journey of a spirited young orphan, Annie, who dreams of finding her parents. Living under the watchful eye of the cruel Miss Hannigan at the city orphanage, Annie’s life takes a turn when she is chosen to spend the holidays with the wealthy and kind-hearted billionaire, Oliver Warbucks. As Annie wins over Warbucks and his staff with her charm and optimism, they embark on a search for her real family. However, Miss Hannigan, along with her scheming brother Rooster and his accomplice Lily, have other plans. 


Annie Jr. includes beloved songs like “Tomorrow” and “It’s A Hard-Knock Life”. Please join us as we share this heartwarming tale of hope, family, and never giving up on your dreams. 


Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students (K-12) at the door.
