Annie Props List

Hi everyone!

Here is a list of props that we’re hoping to find for this year’s musical Annie Junior. If you’re able to help us out with anything on the list, we’d be most grateful.

This list has been added as a tab on the blog home page. Once we’ve found an item, we’ll strike it from the list so that you know what we’re still looking to find. Other items may come up as rehearsals continue; we’ll let you know by blog post if we’ve added to the list.

If you’re sending items in to school to be used, please be sure to label them clearly so that we can ensure that they are returned to you once the show is over.

Many thanks in advance!
