Our group will pay $214 everything included. Our show tickets will be in Orchestra. Please follow the HOW TO PAY instructions below to pay for your ticket(s).

The Day Trip:

• Begin your visit with a delicious lunch at the Demetre's Family Eatery, with your choice of roast beef, chicken or filet of sole as your entrée.
• At 2 p.m. take your seat in the Orchestra at the Stratford Festival Theatre for Annie, one of the world’s most beloved family musicals.
• Annie Bennett is the iconic mop-topped orphan who knows the sun will come out tomorrow for her, no matter how dark it gets today. (Even if “today” is under the domain of Miss Hannigan, the caretaker of the orphanage and an over-the-top misopedist.)
• When Annie and her scrappy dog, Sandy, are taken in by the secretary of the billionaire Oliver Warbucks, the girl’s lifelong search to find her birth parents sets off a chain of wacky, heartwarming adventures.
