Disney's Newsies

Inspired by the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, the high-energy musical Newsies by Harvey Fierstein and Alan Menken tells the story of a band of runaway "newsies" who go up against Pulitzer, Hearst, and other powerful newspaper publishers to fight against social injustice, exploitative labor practices, and a corrupt establishment. Songs include "Carrying the Banner," "Watch What Happens," "King of New York," "Something to Believe In," and others.

Performances are over two weekends: April 18-19 and April 25-27 at Mathews High School's Harry M. Ward Auditorium.

Lost in Yonkers

A memory play by comic playwright Neil Simon that's set in 1942, Lost in Yonkers tells the story of Bella, a 35-year-old mentally challenged woman who lives at home in Yonkers, New York with her mother, stern Grandma Kurnitz. When Bella's ne'er-do-well brother Eddie deposits his two young sons on the old lady's doorstep, the boys are left to contend with a new life in this strange new world called Yonkers.

Presented July 25-27 at the Cobbs Creek Arts Center.

Dead Giveaway

Five elderly spinsters live in the same house and all apparently hate each other. Evelyn keeps acting out death scenes for Fiona, who's writing some sort of novel; Catherine keeps alluding to her "garden"; Dinah is a senior citizen Hell's Angel; and Beryl carries a pistol and has hired an undercover police woman to find out what's going on in the house.

What dark secret are these women hiding, and why do they all keep dying?

In this comedy chiller by Pat Cook, you're not sure who or what to believe and who is really murdering who.

Presented Oct. 24-26 at the Cobbs Creek Arts Center.

Disney's Frozen Jr. available as an add-on

Based on the 2018 Broadway musical, Frozen Jr. brings the magical land of Arendelle to life. It tells of the emotional relationship and journey of Princesses Anna and Elsa who, when faced with danger, discover their hidden potential and the powerful bond of sisterhood.

Frozen Jr. features all of the memorable songs from the animated film, with music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with five new songs written for the Broadway production.

Loaded with magic, adventure, and plenty of humor, the show is sure to thaw even the coldest heart.

Presented Nov. 14-16 at Mathews High School's Harry M. Ward Auditorium.
