Jack Bradford, Director
This is BJT’s second production of “Annie Jr” and our incredible cast and crew have worked tirelessly throughout this week to produce this rags to riches story where hope and love prevail through great characters and music! This will be a production that we will all remember.
I would like to thank the sets, sound, lights and costume crew for all of your hard work. I am also grateful for Debbie, George, Megan and all the creative team for an excellent job. I am looking forward to “Once Upon A Mattress” in the September School Holidays.
Synopsis
