Annie (Audio Described)
2023-11-12 13:00 - 16:00 | Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston Street, San Antonio, TX, 78205, United States
Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theater goers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production–just as you remember it and just when we need it most.
