Set in the historic heart of Savannah, Georgia, the Savannah Theatre offers more than just a stage—it delivers a memorable journey into a beloved Christmas musical tradition. The show "Annie," staged here, revives the spirit of 1930s New York City through a lively, family-friendly performance anchored by the classic tale of an orphan determined to find her parents. Though Savannah is better known for its moss-draped oaks and coastal marshes, the Savannah Theatre stands out as a cultural landmark where holiday magic unfolds indoors, providing a perfect complement to the city’s outdoor charm.
The theatre itself is a piece of history, dating back to 1818, making it one of the oldest continually operating theaters in the United States. Its intimate setting offers a close-up look at the talented cast and live orchestration that bring Tony Award-winning songs like “Tomorrow” and “Hard Knock Life” to life with infectious energy. Whether you’re a local or visiting during the holiday season, this performance offers a refreshing alternative to outdoor excursions — a chance to experience well-crafted storytelling and music that has inspired generations.
Savannah’s mild winter climate means visitors can easily pair an evening at the theatre with strolls through nearby squares or riverside walks, creating a well-rounded holiday itinerary.

Local favorites share the stage with fresh talent, all under the direction of Shannon Zaller, ensuring a high-quality theatrical experience rooted in community pride.
