R2P Needs Your Support:
Did you know: Between renting a theater, licensing scripts, building scenery, and paying our professional artists and technicians, it costs R2P around $20,000 to produce a show?
R2P is committed to keeping the joys of live theatre accessible to everyone – but we can’t do it without the support of our community. When registering, you may select free tickets – or tickets with built-in donations at a variety of levels. At checkout, you also will have the option of adding a donation of any amount.
Thank you for helping us keep the doors open wide to every child and family in our community.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
Leapin’ lizards! Annie Jr. follows everyone’s favorite scrappy orphan as she escapes a dreary orphanage, charms billionaire Oliver Warbucks, and sets out to find the family she’s always dreamed of. Packed with beloved songs like “Tomorrow” and “Hard Knock Life,” this heartwarming musical is perfect for the whole family. Runs approximately 1.5 hours including intermission. All seating is general admission.
TICKET INFO:
Participation for the kids & attendance for the audience is 100% FREE! This is only possible with the support of folks like you. Make a one-time donation when you register for tickets – or become an R2Patron today to support equitable access across our community.
