内容简介
For every boy and girl who has ever been en-
chanted by the theater or dreamed of being a
professional actor, here is the story of a real child
who is fulfilling that dream.
The child is ten-year-old Lauren Gaffney. She
is at'ready a scasone~ performer wfien we watcfi
her audition for-and win-the role of Annie in
a workshop production of Annie 2.
Through Jill Krementz's superb pictures and
text we share Lauren's experience of the real
world of theater-her suspense as she tries out
for the part, and the excitement and hard work
that follow. We're with her as she becomes a
member of the Annie 2 familya when she re-
hearses, when she studies her lines, when she
has her hair dyed Annie-red, when she makes
friends with her fellow actors-including Chel-
sea, the dog that will play the role of Annie's
beloved mutt, Sandy.
And then, at last, we share the anxiety and the
thrill of opening night, when everything comes
together and we see what Lauren's special com-
bination of talent, charm, and determination
has achieved; we see what this very young
actress has created: an imaginary little girl whom
audiences will believe in and love and always
remember as Annie.
