Theatrikos Theatre Co. — Big summer musical Annie! And Downtown Films Changing Gears next Monday.

Theatrikos Theatre Company brings the big summer musical Annie to the Flagstaff stage. The sun’ll come out tomorrow! It’s a hard knock life—but this beloved family classic will fill your heart with love and joy. Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

“Annie is the plucky little orphan who captures the hearts of a self-made billionaire and his household staff. In essence, turning them from just waitstaff and their obnoxiously wealthy bachelor boss, into a loving caring family. Which is all Annie has really ever wanted for herself,” said Annie director Joe Maniglia. “Audiences will hear old favorites such as Tomorrow and Hard Knock Life as well as rediscovering new standards in this last of a bygone era of Broadway classic musicals.”

Thirteen year old Jojo Hood is one of two actors who plays the title role of Annie. “Annie is a good show for Flagstaff and Flagstaff families because it’s a very heartwarming play and who doesn’t like happy musicals?,” she says. Bet yer bottom dollar this’ll be a fun show.

Annie comes to life on the Flagstaff stage with a cast of 26. Patrons are ages six and up. Under six not permitted.

The show runs July 26—August 18, 2024.

Theatrikos is excited to announce the launch of the local edition of Downtown Films, a captivating new film series that premieres on June 24, 2024. This expanded series is not just a testament to brilliant storytelling and cinematic artistry, but also a celebration of Flagstaff’s vibrant local film community. Over the summer, Downtown Films will showcase the remarkable work of numerous talented local Flagstaff filmmakers.

Kicking off the series on June 24, 2024 is Changing Gears: Flagstaff and the Mountain Bike, a humorous historical documentary by local director Chris Gunn that delves into the origins of mountain biking in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Said Gunn, “I’m proud to have documented Flagstaff’s role in the beginning of a world-wide movement that now includes all ages and skill levels. If I say so myself, it’s a good and fun story. I look forward to being part of the event at Theatrikos.”

Changing Gears is Monday, June 24 at 7 pm.
