A spunky little redheaded orphan has been winning hearts for more than 100 years. Cartoonist Harold Gray's "Little Orphan Annie" comic strip made its debut Aug. 5, 1924, in the New York Daily Times. In celebration of this beloved character coming to life in the funny pages, Christian Youth Theater North Idaho's Christian Community Theater is bringing "Annie" to the Midge and Pepper Smock Family Theatre at the Kroc, opening at 7 tonight.
