SSCC Theatre will present the classic, family-friendly musical, Annie this summer, playing in The Edward K. Daniels Auditorium at Southern State Community College, Hillsboro, Ohio, August 3 and 4 at 7:30 p.m. and on August 5 at 3:30 p.m.

Annie (played by Emma Horick) is a spunky Depression-era orphan determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan (Leslie Holmes).
