Director's Note
The time has finally come. Dylan Baierlein's final show here at Marjory Stoneman Douglas is finally upon us. Directing Annie the Musical has been a wild ride, with challenges, fears, stress, and a severe lack of sleep. Regardless of all bumps in the road, this journey has been amazing. Hoping to create a performance rooted completely in positivity, enjoyment is key. I firmly believe that the more a cast enjoys the rehearsal process, the better a show becomes. Striving to add intrigue to this 1930's period piece, we say goodbye to long black outs that halt a show's pace, and say hello to rotating set pieces, making scenes flow seamlessly. Thank you to my cast and crew, Mrs. Herzfeld, and all those who have supported me. Enjoy the show!
... never fully dressed without a smile...
