Kentlake High School Drama Club’s production of “Annie Get Your Gun,” which opens Nov. 12, is a musical with a mission.

With both her sister and a parent volunteer undergoing treatment for breast cancer treatment, club director Pam Cressey decided to use “Annie” to reach out to the community. Partnering with the Covington MultiCare clinic’s breast health services department, the club is providing free tickets to the show to all women having a mammogram between Oct. 22. and Nov. 22. In addition, both of the Wednesday shows will be “pink” and free to all breast cancer survivors, Cressey said.

Noting that the title character is a historic, strong female, Cressey said, “We should rename the show ‘Annie Get Your Mammogram.’”

Shows will be Wednesday through Saturday Nov. 12-15 and Nov. 19-22 at 7 p.m. nightly and with 2 p.m. matinees on Saturdays at the school (21401 S.E. 300th St.). Before the matinees, the drama club will offer preschool-through-third-grade kids a free wild west craft corral at 1 p.m.

The Kentlake production of the true love story between Annie Oakley and Frank Butler includes a wild west show tent, an 1800s cattle boat, a train, a ballroom and a spinning wheel from which Annie does a shooting trick.

The sets are the work of a technical crew, led by Grant Hayden, that last year won 5th Avenue Theatre’s award for Best Scenic Design among high school productions.

Gabbi DeWalt, a senior at Kentlake, plays Oakley, while sophomore Jacob Axelson plays her future husband Butler. Irving Berlin’s score includes favorites “Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better” and “There’s No Business Like Show Business.”
