STONE MOUNTAIN
Arts academy to
present classic musical
The Smoke Rise Academy of the Arts (SRAA) drama
department will present in August the classic musical Annie
Get Your Gun. Staged by the teen class, the production will be
performed Aug. 24 through Aug. 26 in the Fellowship Hall
of Smoke Rise Baptist Church. Members of the Smoke Rise
and surrounding community are invited to attend this free
performance.
Annie Get Your Gun is a musical with lyrics and music by
Irving Berlin and a book by Dorothy Fields and her brother
Herbert Fields. The story is a fictionalized version of the life of
Annie Oakley, a sharpshooter who starred in Buffalo Bill’s Wild
West Show, and her romance with fellow sharpshooter Frank E.
Butler. The 1946 Broadway production was a hit, and the musical
had long runs in both New York and London, spawning revivals,
a 1950 film version and television versions. Songs that became
hits include There’s No Business Like Show Business, They Say It’s
Wonderful, and Anything You Can Do.
Annie Get Your Gun is a family show suitable for all ages.
Show times are 7 p.m. on Friday, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday,
and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Each show will have live pre-show
entertainment, and concessions will be available for purchase
during intermissions. Attendance is free with no tickets required.
