In appreciation of the musical, "Annie"
I just want to take this time to thank all the cast and crew that put on the awesome production of "Annie" this past weekend.What a big project put on by the Kootenai Karacters and the Libby Schools. It never ceases to amaze me of how much talent there is in our small town of Libby, Montana.I can't even imagine how many hours it must have taken to put on such a tremendous production.Everyone involved from the director, Brooke Williams, to the orchestra and singers under the direction of Lorraine Braun to all the "behind the scene" workers and all the cast were very well done.The set designs were top notch and the costumes were very authentic.I've been to many plays throughout my life, but this "Annie" was right up there on top with all the rest I've seen.Even Finnegan, Sandy the dog, played the part like a pro. So thanks again to everyone who helped make this show possible. You made this "old" lady's heart happy!!For those who didn't attend you missed out on a wonderful stage production.- Katie Dwello
