"Annie"  A Fully Staged Musical

From Brooklyn Center's Community Showcase
Everybody's Magazine and Hennessy Present

Patrick Brown's
Sheep in Wolf's Clothing

Starring Oliver Samuels and Camille Davis
with Glen "Titus" Campbell, Sharee McDonald-Russell
and Courtney Wilson

Last season, Oliver Samuels and Company brought their incredible talent to the Brooklyn Center footlights with their acclaimed River Bottom.  What has now become a yearly spring tradition, with nature awakening from its winter's doldrums, our spirits are lightened by this superb writing/acting troupe -- comedy with a decided Caribbean flavor as uplifting as the budding blossoms on the cherry trees, as Everybody's and Hennessy present the new Patrick Brown hilarious comedy, Sheep is Wolf's Clothing directed by Trevor Nairne.  

Brooklyn Center is proud to be able to once again host Everybody's Magazine production of Sheep in Wolf's Clothing.  

 “With the humour, experience and perfection of veterans Oliver Samuels and Glen “Titus” Campbell, the young talented cast of Camille Davis, Sharee McDonald-Russell and Courtney Wilson make “Sheep in Wolf’ Clothing” appealing to theater goers of all age groups.”
                      -- The Daily Gleaner.
“An evening of uncontrollable laughter”
                      -- Jamaica Observer
“This family play belongs on Broadway”
