"Annie" helps the gathering of people to remember a "straightforward, not overdramatic or overoptimistic certainty – simply reality: The sun will turn out tomorrow."

Now and then, it truly can be a "difficult existence," but instead than being down, "Annie" conveys a crisp viewpoint to a circumstance.

At last, it isn't around one character specifically yet rather human qualities, whether that is misery, fear, the Great Depression or the contrary energies, which are trust, idealism and love.

The crowd in Bakersfield can expect an "incredible time at the theater," Taggett said, and he likewise has a notice for guardians. He has come to understand that there are presently two stages in a young lady's life: Before "Annie" and after "Annie" on the grounds that they are changed by it.

"On the off chance that you truly tune in, on the off chance that you truly simply listen to what it's letting you know, it'll change your life," said Taggett.
