ANNIE GET YOUR GUN

“Anything you can do, I can do better.

I can do anything better than you.”

Our 2006 show was to be “Annie Get Your Gun” and performed from Wednesday, October 4th to Saturday, October 7th. We did the 1999 Broadway revised version which suited the company both in the terms of casting and staging. The hall was turned into a circus tent for the duration of the show and the show was performed on a black stage with minimal props. It was the first time for both Andy and Emma in lead roles and they really excelled.

SYNOPSIS

When Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show comes into town, Annie Oakley quickly falls in love with the show's sharpshooter, Frank Butler. Annie, an amazing sharpshooter herself, joins the show so she can win Frank. Unfortunately for Annie, Frank wants a more feminine woman and not a tomboy, gun-toting dame. Further, the fact that she can shoot better than Frank makes her his enemy. In the end, Annie lets Frank win in the sharpshooting contest. As a result, he falls in love with Annie and the two sharpshooters get married.
