Don’t let the venue fool you. This production of ‘Annie’ is strong and very enjoyable despite the limitations of the performance space. There is a stage in the function room at the Windsor Club, but it was utilized by the orchestra, leaving the floor space to accommodate the performance area, the audience seating, and the backstage area. Nevertheless, the talented cast elevates this show to a level that makes it easy to forget that you’re not in a traditional theater.
