Two Maple Leaf-area actors are among the young talent starring in Broadway Bound‘s upcoming performance of “Annie,” which is showing Friday, Jan. 13, through Sunday, Jan. 22, at the Broadway Performance Hall on Capitol Hil.

Among the 200 young actors ages 5 to 16 starring in “Annie” and “Annie. Jr.” are Sarah Gustafson (left), age 12, a seventh-grader, and Maya L’Abbe (right), age 10, a fourth-grader. From the news release:

Themes present in Annie are especially poignant in the current social and political climate. Much like today, people in the 1930’s were struggling with unemployment, poverty, and homelessness. These struggles are emphasized in the play in the song entitled “We’d Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover.” The citizens of a “Hooverville” (a shanty-town named for Hoover) sarcastically express their appreciation to Herbert Hoover for their current situation.

Tickets to “Annie” cost $17.50 and are available at Brown Paper Tickets or by calling (800) 838-3006.
