CYT Lafayette's 5th Annual Teen Summer Stock Show - Newsies! 📰💙
Get ready for an unforgettable summer experience with CYT Lafayette as we produce our
5th Annual Summer Stock Show, Newsies! We're thrilled to bring you this fully staged production at Acadiana Center for the Arts!
Set in turn-of-the century New York City,
Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged "newsies." When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right! Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story,
Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (
Little Shop of Horrors,
Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (
Kinky Boots). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,”
Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience.
Important Dates:
- Rehearsals: Monday through Friday, 5-9 PM from June 16th - 27th
- Performances: June 28th & 29th, where you’ll showcase your talent to family and friends!
This is a
two-week rehearsal process leading up to the performances, and it's the perfect opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the world of theatre! From learning lines and choreography to creating a stunning performance with costumes, sets, and props provided by CYT, this will be a true production experience.
What's Included:
- Costumes, sets, and props provided by CYT
- Auditions before the start of rehearsals to cast the show
- Performance opportunities on June 28th & 29th for friends and family
Please Note: This is a
show/rehearsal process experience, not a day camp. Auditions will be held a few weeks before the start of camp, and students will be required to learn lines, music and some choreography before they arrive on the first day. Students who register after auditions will be cast in the ensemble.
