Deborah Jean Templin portrays Miss Hannigan, stern ruler of the orphanage, with a comic touch.  She is a good comic actress who is fun to watch. Douglas J. Keating, Philadelphia Inquirer, November 14, 2003

Deborah Jean Templin brings the role of Miss Hannigan to life with a taste of evil mixed with a generous portion of humor that leaves you waiting for her reactions around every bend of her frustrated lot in life.

Deborah Jean Templin gives Annie’s antagonist the evil Miss Hannigan not only many hilarious moments but an actual heart.

Deborah Jean Templin is marvelous as the humorously delirious Miss Hannigan.  She gives a broad and very effective performance, wringing every ounce of comedy out of this character role – a tipsy dame with a likeable sneer.           Dante J.J. Bevilacqua  South Philly Review, Nov. 22,2003

Deborah Jean Templin is fun as the miserable Miss Hannigan, the orphanage owner eager to get rid of the troublesome Annie. Templin, together with Don Burroughs as the conniving Rooster Hannigan and Mollie Hall as his brainless girlfriend Lily, provide the show with its best moment in the devious "Easy Street."
