On this week’s episode of Out and About, Dr. Mae Gilliland of ArtsPartners of Central Illinois talks with Mary Ellen Ulrich, Director of "Annie," opening November 7 at Peoria Players Theatre.
Ulrich explains why this musical, which she has directed multiple times, still resonates with audiences with its themes of hope and resilience. The cast includes performers from across the region, ranging in age from six to seasoned actors, and features songs by composer Charles Strouse — including favorites like "Tomorrow."
