THE FOREIGNER, URINETOWN, CONSTELLATIONS Set for Annie Russell Theatre's 84th Season

The Annie Russell Theatre, the longest running theatre in Central Florida, announces their 84th season!

Running September 2016 through April 2017, the season explores patriotism and the questions that have us buzzing this election season. A modern-day farce about how a small southern community reacts to an "exotic" guest; an improvised parody of a popular television program that examines clash and cooperation between classes; the story of six women's experiences in the Vietnam war; and a satirical musical about corporate greed and revolution - the Annie is investigating what makes us tick.

Here's the line-up:
