Welcome to Orange County Children’s Theatre’s spring production ofAnnie The Musical. The talented kids you are about to see have put in countless hours rehearsing in order to bring this classic musical to life on the big stage.
Orange County Children’s Theatre was founded in 1969 with the mission to provideopportunities and instruction in theater arts to children and families throughout Orange County but our organization provides so much more than that. OCCT is a safe place where all our children can feel free to be themselves while developing important life skills such as confidence and respect for others and oneself.

As you enjoy our show, know that it is a long history of volunteerism that gives life to what we do at OCCT and sustains this special organization. Thank you to all of our family and friends who have volunteered countless hours to bring this amazing show to life.
Special thanks to our directors, Kaitlyn Tice, Robyn Wallace and Kristina Reifenstein. We are thrilled to have your knowledge, expertise and creative energies in this production. Thank you to my Co-Producer, Todd Young, for keeping things moving smoothly and being a strong role model for the kids. Thank you to our Executive Board and the Committee Leads who have given their time to make this the best show yet! As the President of this organization, I am proud of the kids for their hard work and indebted to the parents, directors andvolunteers who have given their all to bring our production to life.
