SPRINGBORO — A New Bremen actress is in the ensemble of La Comedia Dinner Theatre’s current production, “Annie.”

Sarah Condon is making her La Comedia debut in the musical which runs through Aug. 30 in the theater at 765 Central Ave., Springboro.

She has been seen as Alice in the New Bremen Drama Club production of “Alice through the Looking Glass,” the King’s Island production of “Charlie Brown’s Christmas Spectacular” and in Daniel O’Donnell’s “I Have a Dream” tour.

“Annie” is one of the most popular Broadway shows of all time and tells the story of America’s cartoon sweetheart, Little Orphan Annie. The winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, it is a delightful mixture of comic villains, cute little girls, gangsters, presidents, billionaires, butlers and bums.

It’s a merry comic book world glowing with optimism from its gentle humor to its carefree dances and tuneful score, including “It’s a Hard Knock Life” and the anthem of hope, “Tomorrow.”

The musical features a book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin. This production was directed and choreographed by Chris Beiser with musical direction by Sue Combs. Costume designer was A.T. Jones. Lighting design was by Geoffrey D. Fishburn.
