ANNIE is now playing at The Berger Center for the Performing Arts, with one weekend left! Saguaro City Music Theatre’s ambitious and heartwarming work comes to life onstage for the entire family to enjoy. I had the opportunity to chat with Christopher Younggren, who plays Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks in the production to learn more about the hard work behind the scenes that creates theatre magic onstage in ANNIE. Younggren, a theatre veteran and theatre teacher, enjoys working with Saguaro City and the high-quality entertainment they produce. The kids and adults work together to bring uplifting and inspiring professional musicals to the city of Tucson! As an audience member and as someone who has worked with Saguaro City in the past, I can certainly attest to the quality of their work. Here comes Warbucks…let’s sit down and see what he has to say about ANNIE!
