The Washougal High School drama department is warming up voices, instruments and sound systems to prepare for Irving Berlin’s classic songs, “Anything you can do, I can do better,” and “There’s no business like show business,” which will fill the auditorium when students take the stage to perform the 1940s musical, “Annie Get Your Gun,” this week.

The musical opens at 7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 16, at the Washougal High School’s Washburn Auditorium. Students will perform again at 1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 17, and at 7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 23 and Saturday, Feb. 24.
