bergenPAC Presents... "ANNIE" as our 2026 Summer Musical!
This summer, bergenPAC’s Performing Arts School lights up bergenPAC’s Taub Stage with the beloved Broadway classic Annie, running July 31 through August 2. Now in its 15th year, bergenPAC’s celebrated summer musical program has become a cornerstone of the region’s arts scene, known for delivering full-scale productions while training the next generation of performers.
From past standout productions to this year’s highly anticipated Annie, the program has built a reputation for excellence, discipline, and opportunity. Each summer, students take part in a rigorous, pre-professional rehearsal process that mirrors the demands of the industry, culminating in performances on bergenPAC’s mainstage.
Based on the iconic comic strip by Harold Gray, Annie is a Tony Award-winning musical filled with unforgettable songs like “Tomorrow” and a story that continues to resonate with audiences of all ages. The production is directed by bergenPAC's Executive Director Alexander R. Diaz, with choreography by Kirsten Lane and music direction by Glenn Gordon.
“Bringing Annie to bergenPAC’s Taub Stage has been a creative venture I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” said Diaz. “It’s a timeless story, and the music stays with you for days. This production is also a wonderful opportunity to introduce first-time theatergoers to a high-caliber musical without the hassle of going to Broadway. And with ticket prices that are extremely accessible, it truly opens the door for everyone to experience live theater.”
Performance Dates: July 31st, August 1st & August 2nd
