From The Director:
Annie Get Your Gun is one of America’s most beloved musicals. Annie Oakley personified the American Spirit, and this great story was brought to life through Irving Berlin’s wonderful score. Her life was the stuff of legend – from humble Quaker origins in Darke County, Ohio, Annie Oakley (Phoebe Ann Moses) rose to the heights of renown as a world-famous entertainer and featured performer with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Annie Oakley and Frank Butler may have competed ferociously in this musical, but in real life she had a long and devoted marriage to Frank Butler and when Annie passed away, Frank died three weeks later, they say from a broken heart.

In the Conejo Player’s production of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show stars sharpshooter Annie Oakley, performed by Alison Friedman, and Frank Butler played by John Gaston. Wonderful songs from the show include Doin’ What Comes Natur’lly, You Can’t Get a Man With a Gun, I Got the Sun in the Morning, Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better, and There’s No Business Like Show Business.
