Disney’s Newsies: The Broadway Musical
Stop the presses! Newsies is an event you won’t want to miss; it’s filled with explosive dance, emboldening harmonies, and newspapers galore. Indeed, it’s a spectacle to behold as it heralds the themes of courage, determination, grit, friendship, and the importance of standing together for what’s right.
This Tony-winning Broadway musical is the heart-warming tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy filled with dreams of a better life, who rises as the leader of a group of orphaned, runaway, and dirt poor “Newsies.”
CLASSES
The Centre offers a diverse range of art classes for all ages. From pottery to photography to painting and even jewellery making, these fantastic classes are sure to inspire you. Open studios also offer a space to hone your skills in flamework, drawing and painting, and on the wheel or hand building in Clay
