The Sun’ll come out…tomorrow! The classic hit musical Annie comes to brilliant life this winter. Everyone’s favorite redhead charms everyone she meets in 1930s New York City. Dropped on the doorstep of an orphanage years ago, Annie longs to meet her true parents while escaping the wrath of orphanage owner Miss Hannigan. When the gruff billionaire Oliver Warbucks invites Annie to join him for Christmas, her dreams of family come to life in unexpected ways, befriending President Franklin D Roosevelt, foiling Miss Hannigan, and finding home in unexpected places. Annie the Musical is the perfect musical for the entire family.

TREE
Cincinnati Arts Association

TREE is intended for ages 0–3, but all ages are welcome with a paid ticket; each child must attend with a paid adult.

Snuggle up in your warm nest while the mama bird takes care of her glowing eggs. The tree is full of wonders—tiny bugs and animals moving around, all while gentle music plays. As the moon rises, its twinkling stars will help you drift off to sleep, filling you with the energy to soar like a bright baby bird when morning comes.

TREE lets you enter a fully interactive, multi-sensory universe, wrapped in soft light, music, and silence, where five characters interact with your little ones.
