Cast of Annie

Bud is thrilled to be in Annie, his 50th production at TITG. Over his 34 years here he has Directed (The Rainmaker, 2000), stage managed numerous shows, but primarily performed on stage. Favorite roles on this stage include Alfred Doolittle in My Fair Lady, Froggy LeSeur in The Foreigner, and Mr. Mushnik in Little Shop of Horrors. Thanks to Chris for this opportunity to share the stage with so many talented fellow performers.
Good night, Sandy Lorraine where ever you may be.

Chris is excited to be part of the cast of “Annie!” This is her 3rd TITG show in recent history, after an absence of almost 30 years. Past favorite productions include “Big Fish,” “Hello, Dolly!” and “Scrooge!” You’ll see her husband’s name in the orchestra too.

Claire is a 4th grader at the Early Learning Community at Pacific University. This is her second show at TiTG, after appearing in Scrooge last December. Most recently she was Nemo in Finding Nemo Jr. at Lovegood Performing Arts camp. She loves cooking, singing, and solving Rubik’s cubes.

Delaney is 12 years old and is in the 7th grade at Sheridan AllPrep Academy. This is Delaney’s theatre debut! Although this may be her theatre debut, she has been gracing the stage in the dance world since she was 3. She is thrilled to be a part of Annie and wants to thank the entire cast for welcoming her into the theatre world and making her feel so at home!

Principally cast as Franklin Delano Roosevelt with several ensemble roles. TITG attracts me because of the community it cultivates. Diverse individuals with a shared passion in story telling on the stage. Previously performed with TITG as the Ghost of Jacob Marley in Scrooge-The Musical, South Pacific and The Odd Couple. And, Oh those random thoughts that theatre shows you are never TOO old to imagine or make believe. Shout out to my best friend and wife whose kindness, generosity and support never falters when I get the itch for another play. Historic engagement with TITG in 1969 with the inaugural performance of South Pacific stage at Central School when the group was name Lamplight Theatre, then in 1971 with Sound of Music. To say I have been in theatre for 7 decades is true, but only validates being a storyteller or a politician.

Devin is thrilled to be joining the cast of Annie, marking her second production with TiTG. Last year, she portrayed Jen, a Cratchit child, and an orphan in Scrooge! The Musical. Devin enjoys playing her trumpet, crocheting, and embracing the adventures of being a 7th grader. A big foodie at heart, she loves trying new things and watching competition shows like The Great British Baking Show. She also loves video games and trying new craft projects.

Emily is so thrilled to be back on the TITG stage! She made her musical debut in TITG’s 9 to 5 this spring, and fell in love with performing. Having discovered the theatre world through her daughter Audrey, she couldn’t pass up the chance to audition and share the stage with her. This show has been so fun to experience together. When not on stage, Emily is a regional accounting manager and busy work-from-home mom. She’d like to thank her incredible husband Daniel for being so supportive of her passions, her kids Audrey and Derek for constantly inspiring her, and her sweet friend Amelia for coaching and championing her through this whole process. She couldn’t have done it without them, and the support of Chris, Alicia, the cast, and the whole creative team.

Imogen is so excited to take to the Theatre in the Grove stage for the first time and fulfill a long-time dream that started when she gave (fabulous) backstage tours at a TITG Gala as a four-year-old. Now a 12-year-old 6th grader from Hillsboro, Imogen has appeared as Matilda in Matilda Jr. (Village Home), Flounder in The Little Mermaid Jr. (Village Home), Storyteller in Shrek Jr. (Village Home), and Ensemble in Mary Poppins Jr. (STAGES). She was also a member of Stage Troupers at STAGES this past summer. Imogen enjoys trapeze and aerial silks, making art of all kinds, and reading.

Maddy is excited to return to TITG for her second production, after appearing in Scrooge last year. Other recent performances include Frozen Jr. As a 7th grader, Maddy loves singing, dancing, and acting, and dreams of one day performing on Broadway. She is grateful to her directors, cast mates, and family for their constant support and encouragement. She hopes you enjoy the show!
