Disney’s NEWSIES at Roger Rocka’s

Set in turn-of-the 20th century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teen aged “newsies.” When the titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right!

Inspired by a true story, Good Company Players’ production of Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family. Rated PG.

Scrooge?

Our Gift Certificates are also available in Madera at Madera Arts Council’s Circle Gallery, in Kingsburg at For the Birds: Garden Gifts, in Clovis at Sierra Vista Mall, and in Fresno at Merle Norman Cosmetics and at Fashion Fair.  You can always get them online or in person at Roger Rocka’s Box Office, too.

Footloose bursts onto the stage at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater with music, dance and fun.
