A MOP-haired orphan and her dog Sandy are paying a visit to Colne next month to star in one of the 20th century's most popular musicals.

The Colne Operatic Society presents Annie with an all-star cast, including Sammy the Dog as Sandy.

Producer Stephen Burrows and musical director Lisa Manley will help to make the event a memorable occasion.

The show is being performed at the Pendle Hippodrome Theatre, Colne, starting on Monday, March 15 and running for the whole week.

Tickets are priced at £8, and £6 for concessions. These are available by ringing the ticket hotline on (01282) 869513.
