Grown Up Orphan Annie will be running during the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Written and performed by Katherine Bourne Taylor. Produced by DJ Taylor.
The beloved character Annie (Katherine Bourne Taylor) is now grown up and some details about her life are now disclosed. Being the adopted daughter of Daddy Warbucks created some moral conflicts on the young girl, and now she needs to come to terms with her new reality as a grown up, living the lifestyle of a celebrity. After the death of Daddy Warbucks and the dog Sandy, Annie starts searching for a new sidekick. Unfortunately, she is mislead to believe that Keiko the orca can be her new friend. Unbeknownst to her, Keiko died years ago, creating a new disappointment in her life.
The picaresque style of Harold Gray‘s Little Orphan Annie comic strip continues in this new solo performance. Taylor develops a series of adventures to find new friends and a new sidekick, all of this with an ambientalista undertone, trying to save the planet from the billionaires of the world.
The show is interactive, creating very funny situations with the participation of the audience, specially the first half of the play. The show was workshopped with the innovative Elysian Theatre, and Taylor will be taking her solo performance to the Edinburgh Fringe after the Hollywood run. As part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival, Grown Up Orphan Annie will be playing during the month of June.
