This year’s fine arts musical, with Irving Berlin tunes from the original Broadway production, tells the fictionalized story of sharpshooter Annie Oakley while showcasing the talents of the high school’s choir, theatre arts, band and art students.

Her son, Austin, a fourth-grader at Adams, plays her brother, Little Jake.
