Classic show, iconic songs
'Annie Jr.' will be performed
Take a chance and bet your bottom dollar that the audience will be smiling and refraining from singing along to “Tomorrow” and “Hard-Knock Life,” when actors take the stage today to perform “Annie Jr.” And if you can’t make it today, there is always tomorrow – and Sunday. The Penguin Project of the Sauk Valley presents the show at Dixon High School’s Wiltz Auditorium, 300 Lincoln Statue Drive. Performances are at 7 p.m. today and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.Tickets cost $10, and are available at Dixon Chamber of Commerce and Main Street, 87 S. Hennepin Ave.; Woodlawn Arts Academy, 3807 Woodlawn Road, Sterling; the Florissa Center, 144 North Court, Dixon; or at the door.
