The cast and orchestra of the Pierz Healy Community Theatre are in full force rehearsing for the premiere of its first production — the musical “Annie.”
When the auditions were held the last week of June, over 125 people from Pierz and the surrounding communities came to audition, said production director Diane Hauan. There are 45 cast members, ranging in age from 6 to 65.
