NEWS FROM THE OWL’S NEST James Monroe Presents.. Annie, Jr. Annie Jr. lit up the stage this past month at James Monroe School with
heartwarming performances on June 4th and 5th. The cast and crew dedicated many hours rehearsing songs, dances, and scenes to bring this classic musical to life under the direction of Mrs. Meagan Sanchez and Mrs. Lisa Romeo. Talented backstage crew and a group of student set designers helped transform the stage into 1930s New York City thanks to the creativity and leadership of the Production Club, led by Ms. Maureen Speckin and Ms. Danielle Buzy.
It truly takes a village to put on a show of this scale, with more than 300 students from Kindergarten through fifth grade contributing in one way or another. Our production wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of the entire James Monroe staff, who continue to foster a creative and supportive environment where students grow through the arts. Congratulations to the cast and crew of Annie Jr.—your hard work, resilience, and joy lit up the stage and reminded us all, just like Annie sings, that “the sun’ll come out tomorrow.”
