The Woodlands Christian Academy (TWCA) Fine Arts department proudly presents its production of “Newsies – The Broadway Musical” next week. More than 50 talented students and staff at TWCA will take the stage at the newly opened Black Box Theater at The Benjamin Wells School of the Arts on campus with public performances on:
- Thursday, February 6, 6:30 pm
- Friday, February 7, 6:30 pm
- Saturday, February 8, 2 pm and 6:30 pm
Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, the musical is about the unwavering determination of a group of young, working-class kids fighting for what’s right. “Newsies speaks to the universal struggle for justice, solidarity, and the power of community,” Director Palvin Williams said. “This story resonates just as deeply as it did when it was first written.”
The world of Newsies is one of contrasts: from the bustling streets of New York, teeming with life and opportunity, to the shadowy offices of powerful newspaper moguls who exploit the very kids who bring their stories to life.
Phil Sweger, Director of Fine Arts, describes why this production resonates today and what to expect from this musical performance. “The story that the students will share with you parallels The Warrior Way of TWCA. You will see friends Serving Others, Fighting for Truth, and Leading by Example. As you are transported back to 1899 New York City, prepare to be wowed by wonderful singing, fast feet, and a story that captures hearts,” Sweger said.
