Music Mountain Theatre presents the record-breaking hit musical “Annie” on its mainstage, 1483 Route 179, Lambertville, N.J., Nov. 1 to 24.
Under the direction of Co-Artistic Director Louis Palena, the music direction of Sue Den Outer, and the choreography of Palena and Co-Artistic Director Jordan Brennan, the family musical based on the Harold Gray comic strip “Little Orphan Annie,” runs for 16 performances.
