The sun will come out this fall when Annie takes the stage at the Journey Theater in Vint Hill. Triune Entertainment, a local theater company known for its professional-caliber productions, will present the beloved musical November 6–16, 2025.

The show marks a return visit to the Potomac Local Podcast for Triune Entertainment producer Matt Moore, who joined director Renee De Pont to share how their team is bringing new energy — and heart — to the Depression-era story of a spunky orphan who never gives up hope.

Presented by Triune Entertainment, Into the Sun follows Freddy and Mary Sigfried as they navigate the emotional and moral upheavals of World War I. Freddy, eager to serve, rises through the military ranks but is haunted by the consequences of leadership. Meanwhile, Mary breaks with tradition by taking a job in a munitions factory, eventually grappling with the ethics of her work.

Director Esther Wells called the show “an honor” to direct, highlighting its local roots and cast of talented regional performers. Leading roles include Ryan Schaffer as Freddy and Audrey Mollo as Mary, joined by Cam Ezell, Joseph Allen, and others in a rich ensemble cast.
