Chattooga Curtain Call to present Newsies Jr.

Chattooga Curtain Call will present Newsies Jr. July 31st and Aug. 1st. This is Chattooga Curtain Calls 14th summer hosting Summer Drama Camp. Students 3rd-12th grade have been working all summer to bring you a wonderful show.

It’s time to carry the banner with Disney’s Newsies JR.! You’ll be doing flips for the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of young newsies in Manhattan. When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsies’ expense, Jack rallies young workers from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right!

Newsies Jr. performances are July 31st at 7:00pm and Aug. 1st at 2:00pm and 7:00pm. Tickets are $10. You can purchase tickets via Venmo @Chattooga-Curtain-Call. You will receive confirmation with ticket numbers and your tickets will be held for you at the door. You can also purchase tickets at the door with cash/check. All performances will be held at Connect City Church.

CCC is a non-profit organization that is responsible for bringing theater opportunities to the young people of Chattooga County. For more than a decade, students from many different area schools have come together to bring quality performances to our community. Keeping the performing arts alive in our county and giving young people enriching experiences in theater is the goal of CCC. Each year, we have the pleasure of providing a Fine Arts Field Trip so that students from our county can come see the show. We have served thousands of students through this back-to-school event for the past seven years.

We hope that you will come out and support Chattooga Curtain Call so that we may continue our dedication to arts in our community. Jack Kelly and the rest of the cast can’t wait to perform for you.
