Venice Theatre - Annie Get Your Gun

Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun is one of the all-time iconic musicals. Based on historical events, the show tells the story of Annie Oakley (played by Kaitlyn Terpstra), the first all-star female sharpshooter of the Old West. The show is full of humor, witty dialogue, high-energy dance numbers and the soaring music of Irving Berlin.

It takes you from Annie's discovery through the following years of her life as she becomes internationally known for her talents with the rifle. Along the way she meets her greatest competitor and future husband Frank Butler (Dan Smith), becomes a starring attraction in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.
