NEWSIES JR

JULY 24TH - AUG 12TH | AGES 10-19 | $550

Final show dates- August 11th, 7pm | August 12th, 2pm & 7pm

Disney's Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film. Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.

When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what's right.

Including the now-classic songs "Carrying the Banner," "Seize the Day," and "Santa Fe," Newsies JR. is a timeless story full of spirit and heart.

SUMMER THEATER CAMPS

The annual Summer Theater Workshop offered by the Smyrna Opera House is designed for students ranging in age from 7 to 19 years old.  The workshop spans a two-week period each summer, bringing children together who have an avid interest in improving their theater skills while learning new ones! 

Under the direction of Chloe Boggs, the camp's focus on the basics of acting will culminate in a performance on the final two days in which all students are equally cast. 

The Smyrna Opera House Summer Theater Workshop's goal is to bring children together who love the performing arts, hone their theatrical skills, culturally enrich them, and ensure each student has a great deal of fun along the way!
