April 23-May 9, 2015

Annie is off to visit her mother’s Russian homeland and claim a mysterious birthright. But in the country of Pushkin, the Politburo and Pussy Riot, she must battle witches, bears, and darker forces. Forget “Once upon a time” and “happily ever after’. In Russia, fairytales begin with: “They lived, they were” — and they end with “The End”.

Regional premiere. 2012 finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize

Featuring: Jessica Flemming, Jeanine Frost, Faye Goodwin, Carly Prentis Jones, Mikaela Saccoccio, Laurel A. Ullman. Music by Bart Matthews.

Directed by Jules Odendahl-James

Production Support: Duke University Department of Theater Studies
