Curtains Up, the non-profit performing arts company that mentors at-risk children to become confident and successful performers, invites the community to see their production of Annie at Onstage Atlanta on November 8 through November 13, 2010. Mary Stewart Sullivan, a Broadway performer, will star as the title role opposite Jennifer Salberg, founder of Curtains Up, as Miss Hannigan.
Jennifer started Curtains Up in 2004. She produces Broadway shows that inspire children and encourage them to reach for the stars. In addition, Curtains Up gives every child the opportunity to stand in the spotlight.
In 2005, Mary Stewart, at the age of four, learned how theatre could be fun and philanthropic from “Ms. Jen”. Thus, their magnetic force, which will be evident in Annie, began.
This year, with the help of her Curtains Up background, Mary Stewart landed the role and played Jojo in Seussical with the Atlanta School of the Performing Arts. During that production, the magic of Broadway struck. At eight years old, she received the call of a lifetime and was whisked away to perform as the daughter of Tony Award Winner Norbert Leo Butz in Enron, A true story of false profits. Mary Stewart returns to Atlanta to play Annie and help Curtains Up support foster children.
All of the ticket money from Annie will go to at-risk and foster children.
For tickets and more information please call 404-459-0409 or visit www.curtainsupinc.org

Last Chance to See The Twilight Theatre's Annie Get Your Gun
The Twilight Theatre is proud to be able to offer your one final chance to see, Annie Get Your Gun, the show everybody has been raving about.
"The rain may have forced us out last weekend," says Twilight's Managing Director, Jeanne Hewell-Chambers, "but this weekend there'll be stars shining everywhere: on stage, backstage, in the booth, in the audience, and most especially in the sky."
Annie Get Your Gun is the turn-of-the-century, true-life story of Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. This fun, fast-paced musical is full of dancing, shooting and recognizable music by the legendary Irving Berlin, all crafted around clever dialogue and a great love story. Andre De Lorenzo, editor of the Southside ARTS Agenda said, "You have probably seen Annie Get Your Gun before, but you haven't seen this group of awesome actors perform it! Go see it and be thoroughly entertained."
It is a unique opportunity to be able to reschedule on such short notice, but The Twilight Theatre as well as all the cast, crew, musicians, and production staff are saying, "Lets go on with the show" and are busy pulling out all the stops to be able to offer an outstanding performance to the community just one last time.
"We are just a group of local citizens, using our talents to tell a story," says Hewell-Chambers, "and we'd sure love to tell this story to an enthusiastic, appreciative audience. It's always fun to see friends, bankers, coworkers, doctors, people you see and deal with on a daily basis, in a new context. Always amazing to see the talent they sometimes keep very well hidden. We sure do appreciate how the business community has rallied in support of us, helping us take to the stage one more time without breaking our piggy bank."
Don't miss your last chance to see what promises to be the most exciting, energetic performance yet. Annie Get Your Gun will be performed at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater in Peachtree City on Saturday, October 3 at 8 p.m. Gates open at 7:40 p.m.
Ticket to this fun, gut-busting, foot-stomping musical are $15 for adults and $13 for students and seniors and can be purchased at Mimi's Good Food and Wags to Whiskers in Peachtree City; from individual cast members; by emailing tickets@TheTwilightTheatre.com; or at the door beginning at 7:15 p.m.
For more information please contact Beth Nicholson at agygdirector@thetwilighttheatre.com.
