Newsies

We would like to invite you to Trinity College’s production of Newsies, from Thursday 1 May to Saturday 3 May 2025. Set in the bustling streets of 1899 New York City, Newsies is a tale of resilience, courage, and the power of collective action, conveyed through dynamic music and exhilarating choreography.

 

This production is a testament to the power of collaboration. Co-produced by Dr. Robert Braham, Mrs. Paula Nicoletto, and Ms. Abigail Acton, our combined knowledge and experience has been invaluable in shaping this ambitious and vibrant show. Our creative vision and dedication have elevated this production, and it has been a privilege to collaborate with each other.

 

We would also like to acknowledge the hard work and determination of our incredibly talented cast and crew, whose passion has brought this heartwarming story to life. The journey has been one filled with learning, laughter, and creative triumphs, all culminating in the performance you are about to witness.
