Irving College School fifth-grader Karigan Smith will play Annie in the upcoming production of Annie Jr. at Park Theater. She is pictured with Violet the dog, who will appear in two scenes as Sandy.
As the story of little orphan Annie prepares for the Park Theater stage this week, there’s the real-life story of little orphan Violet who has a role in the show.Violet was rescued just over a year ago from her orphanage – Warren County Animal Control. She’s the dog of play director Logan Taylor and she’ll appear in two scenes of “Annie Jr.”“This is the first time I’ve had a dog in one of my shows and it was a hard decision to make,” said Taylor. “We kept asking, ‘Do we want to use a real dog in the show?’ and we finally decided to give it a try.
