What's a trip to San Francisco without a ride on the trolley?

Casey, her mom, and Taylor hauling groceries back to the apartment - seemed like a good idea at the time

It's not what you think.

San Francisco's finest, who gave Taylor's mom and the boys a lift from the grocery store and then treated them to a siren run.

Think NY would do the same for a stranded visitor?

John and Marissa share a tender moment backstage

The backbone of the Ensamble - Katherine Pecevich and Harry Turpin. Katherine plays Mrs. Pugh, Sophie the Kettle, the 'Hours of Smiles' producer, and Perkins (in addition to understudying Hannigan).  Harry has more stage time than Annie and plays the Dog Catcher, the Sound Effects man, and Ickes.

Marissa stops for a quick picture with a couple of the "adult" cast members - Ed Romanoff and Allan Baker (FDR)

All smiles...well, almost.
