Cast of 'Annie' Taking Donations for Humane Society

The Atlanta chapter of Christian Youth Theater (CYT) last week opened its 10th season with its production of Annie.

The family-friendly theater performances will be held at The Milton Center at 86 School Drive in Alpharetta, providing nine shows filled with orphans, a millionaire and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

To honor Sandy for protecting Annie on the streets of New York City, the cast is taking donations for the Atlanta Humane Society.

Donations such as dog bowls, paper towels, disinfectants and grocery store gift cards, will be collected at all nine performances. A full list of accepted items can be found on the CYT Atlanta website.

Tickets for Annie may be purchased online at www.cytatlanta.com. General admission and VIP seating are available for all shows. Ticket pricing starts at $12. Donations can be brought to the performance, which will run through Monday, Dec. 15.

CYT Atlanta has brought the gift of musical theater to students in the northern suburbs of Atlanta since 2003.

Over the years, the Johns Creek-based program has educated thousands of children in theater arts through weekly after school classes and a generous offering of summer camps.

CYT Atlanta has also produced over 31 family-friendly performances including Aladdin, Hairspray, Sound of Music, Little Mermaid, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Cinderella and more.
