You already know the songs.

You might even know the story.

But you’ve never seen Annie Jr. like this.

This spring, the Lillie May G.E.M.S.—Girls Excelling in Movement and Stage Play—take the stage to bring this classic to life with energy, style, and a whole lot of heart. Think bold voices, sharp choreography, and moments that will have you smiling before you even realize it.

At Lillie May Carroll Jackson Charter School—a tuition-free public middle school for girls in grades 5–8—arts integration is not an extra. It’s how our girls learn, express, and lead.

And this stage?

It’s where that learning comes alive.

This isn’t just about one girl named Annie.

It’s about a group of girls finding their rhythm, their confidence, and their place in the spotlight.

You’ll see it in the way they move.

You’ll hear it in the way they sing.

You’ll feel it in the way they show up—for themselves and for each other.

So bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring someone who needs a little joy.

Because the sun isn’t just coming out tomorrow—it’s rising right here on our stage.

Come see our girls shine.
