Sharpshooter wows Playhouse

Cumberland County Playhouse is getting a taste of the old west as Broadway’s prettiest sharpshooter returns to the Mainstage in Annie Get Your Gun. The show opened June 13.

Annie Get Your Gun is the story of the dead-eye riflewoman Annie Oakley, who went from backwoods girl to star and fell in love with ace marksman Frank Butler along the way. The score features some of Irving Berlin’s most beloved music including “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” “You Can’t Get a Man with A Gun” and “Anything You Can Do.”

Christine Rowan, who is just coming off her stellar performance in the Playhouse production Idols of the King, will play Annie Oakley. She will be joined by Britt Hancock in the role of Frank Butler, and Jack Irvin as the legendary Buffalo Bill.
