Because sometimes, all it takes is one plucky dreamer—bright, bold, and unshakable—to remind us all that the sun will come out tomorrow! Cleveland Play House stages the classic musical Annie in the Allen Theatre at Playhouse Square, with songs including “Tomorrow,” “Easy Street” and “It’s the Hard-Knock Life,” plus a lovable stray dog named Sandy.

There are no performances on Nov. 30, Dec. 1, Dec. 7–8, Dec. 14–15, Dec. 21 or Dec. 25. Tickets are $36–$90. Children ages 5 and older may attend, and every child needs a ticket.
