PCT (Palestine Community Theatre) is in its second week of performances on the musical "Annie" starring the amazing Hannah Weber in the title role. She is a phenomenal new talent at PCT. Her powerful voice, beautiful face, and, dare I say, pure spirit really brings the character to life. Jim Vincill brings his usual joie de vivre to the role of Daddy Warbucks. Just the right amount of bluster and heart that works as a counterpoint to Annie's sweetness earnestness. There are many standout performers- scene stealers and stage troopers alike- but I'll keep to an overall look at the show. It has fine music, good acting, and one of the strongest children's choruses we've had in a long while. The characters flow with the music and the sets support the story- not so much standing out as disappearing into the reality of the emotions, as a set should.
The first weekend was sold out. I'm thinking there will be many repeats of that for the next two weekends. It is well deserved.
