Lobby Hero asks what happens when the need to be seen as competent, moral, or important outweighs the courage to be honest. In a confined space where authority, ambition, and fear collide, each character justifies their choices in the name of survival. What emerges is not a battle between right and wrong, but a portrait of how easily good intentions can bend under pressure.

He wore white circular discs over his eyes to portray Annie as he read the comic strip aloud. Such an oddity to me back then, those discs affixed to the eyes scared me. It even led me to dislike the Little Orphan Annie comic strip. However, seeing the production of Annie at the Argyle Theatre, directed by Valerie Wright, completely changed my mindset.
