"Amanda Swickle was incredibly believable in the role of Annie. Through facial expression, and body language, Swickle convincingly portrayed the optimistic eleven year old seeking to find her parents, and to provide a little hope to those around her. Her role was very lovable, and her enthusiasm and honesty on stage was nearly constant., having appropriate interaction with her young ensemble members, and endearing and strong on stage relationships with Miss Hannigan, Mr. Warbucks, and Grace Farrell. Swickle never faltered in her delivery, and was able to hold her own on stage alongside these very talented adult actors. I look forward to seeing Miss Swickle in future productions, and seeing her maturity blossom in future roles" - John Garcia, The Column Online (FtWorth, TX)
