Does the meer thought of little orphan Annie singing “the sun’ll come out tomorrow” bring a smile to your face? Young Actors Stage presents youth ages 6-14 in the classic story of the favorite red-headed little girl. Performances will be this Friday, March 1st – Sunday, March 3rd at the 24th Street Theatre. Seeing other kids singing and dancing their hearts out is a fantastic way to inspire your kids and develop their appreciation for the arts!
Based on the popular Broadway musical, “Annie Jr.” tells the story of a spunky, Depression-era orphan who is determined to find her parents who abandoned her on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan’s evil plans, befriends President Franklin Roosevelt and finds a new family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. Annie Jr features songs from the original Broadway show including “Tomorrow”; “Hard-Knock Life”; “Little Girls” and “Maybe.”
I am such a fan of Young Actor’s Stage, a musical theatre program for children directed by the fabulous Liorah Singerman! As the arts have unfortunately been disappearing from our schools, Liorah had a fabulous idea to take her skills into Sacramento elementary schools in the form of workshops. She created this theatre company to bring a love and appreciation of the performing arts to students and the community. The aim of Young Actor’s Stage is not only to create a foundation for dancing, singing, acting and performing, but also to nurture teamwork, concentration, imagination, and confidence that have been proven to carry over into all areas of academic learning.
I have seen what Liorah can do first-hand as my daughter participated in two previous Young Actors Stage productions and it has been most exciting for me to see her grow both in confidence and a love for theatre! She will be a part of this production by playing the part of the orphan, Tessie!
I am all about supporting the arts in our community and so I invite you to share with me YOUR child or organization’s show so that I can share it here on Sacramento Sidetracks.

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
