TWO Annies and two groups of children will share the limelight when Blackburn Amateurs stage their latest production.

The amateurs are busy rehearsing for the musical Annie to be staged at the Civic Theatre in Oswaldtwistle from Monday to Saturday, May 13-18.

The two Annies -- Rebecca Worthy and Nico Cobald -- will take the starring role alternately, and the two groups of eight children will also take turns to appear on stage. Other main parts are played by Rodger Dugdale (Daddy Warbucks), Sue Fry (Miss Hannigan), Jeremy Scholey (Rooster) and Sally Hindle (Lilly).
