Fayette Community Theatre President, Sylvia Wade, announced the postponement of their planned production of the Broadway musical “Annie.”

“We were notified late last week that a National touring company plans to produce Annie at the Fox Thetaer in Atlanta during the early part of November, which restricts its production by any other theater group in the area,” stated Mrs. Wade. “As a result, auditions scheduled for this week have been cancelled until further notice.”

“We are deeply disappointed in this development, however we still plan to stage “Annie” here in fayette County as soon as possible in 2001. We are workiing closely with the licensee who represents the copyright owners to determine a date that we can obtain permission to stage the show. Our first concern when we were notified of the cancellation of our performance rights was the deep disappoitnment this will cause so many youngsters who had notified u that they would audition for a role in the production,” continued Mrs. Wade. “We are currently working with the licensing authority to select a replacement that meets our standards for quality family oriented theater. We will announce within the next few days the production selected and its audition dates that will replace “Annie” in our schedule for October 5 through 15,”concluded Mrs. Wade.
