The Stephen Foster Drama Association is set to present the 67th season of The Stephen Foster Story this summer, and joining the Kentucky classic at the J. Dan Talbott Amphitheatre will be the Broadway classic Annie.

SFDA Executive Artistic Director Johnny Warren says this will be the second time the association has staged a production of the musical that features classics such as “Tomorrow” and “It’s the Hard Knock Life”.

“It’s a show that we kind of have in our pocket that we knew we wanted to produce again, and it turned out that this year was the year to do it,” Warren said.

Warren says staging a show meant to be seen inside a Broadway theatre at an outdoor amphitheater requires a creative endeavor, but the association has a talented team that is up to the task.

“We’re excited for our audiences to see a version of the show unlike anything they’ve seen before, primarily because we are outside, and that brings a lot of opportunity,” Warren said.

Local auditions for Annie and The Stephen Foster Story will be held Saturday, February 21, at Nelson County High School.

“Not every adult that we hire in the summer performs in both shows, but most do, and then the youth audition is for the production of Annie where we intend to cast 18 children,” Warren said.

The Stephen Foster Story begins its season June 13. Annie will run Wednesdays and Fridays beginning July 8. Tickets are on sale now.

Ticket information, and audition information, is available at www.stephenfoster.com.
