OFC Creations Theatre Center, 3450 Winton Place, Brighton, presents performances of Newsies on Friday, September 29, through Sunday, October 1. Hunter Ekberg directs the production which features OFC’s pre-professional teens and professional adult performers. The show is appropriate for all ages.
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” who strike against unfair conditions.
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). It features the songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe.”
Performances are September 29 at 7:30 p.m., September 30 at 3 and 7:30 p.m., and October 1 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 per audience member and are available at http://OFCCreations.com/tickets or by calling 585-667-0954. Tickets also can be purchased in person at OFC’s The Old Farm Cafe during all public hours.
