By Joan Doggrell

Fireman Rodney Scott made his first appearance on the NTC stage on December 5, opening night for “Annie,” which is “one of the most family friendly shows we’ve done in a long time,” said Artistic Director Tony Daniel.
“I was a tad nervous at first,” said Scott. “But the cast members knew it was going to be my first time in front of a live audience. They built up my confidence so that when I went out on stage, it was surreal, but confidence overcame nervousness. We had an awesome time.”

Daniel is thrilled that Fireman Scott chose to audition for “Annie.”
