12 SHOWS ONLY. Meet the Company of the Grand Theatre High School Project – Disney’s NEWSIES …

“You are all dancers.” On day one, this is how Director Ray Hogg greeted the student company of the Grand Theatre High School Project – Disney’s NEWSIES. “And to quote Martha Graham, ‘wherever a dancer stands is consecrated ground.’” 

As each cast member takes the stage – voices lifted under the leadership of Music Director Matthew Atkins, moving through Krista Leis’ ambitious choreography – they are dressed from the top of their heads to their tippy tap toes by Wardrobe; set against the world built by Carpentry, Scenic Art, and Props; propelled by the rise and fall of the Orchestra; guided by the experience and expertise of Kristi Hansen, Disability Consultant. They are in the hands of Lighting and Sound Design, Stage Management, and Stage Crew. And of course, captured by Photography & Marketing. 

These are ALL your “dancers” and from SEP 17 through 27, the Grand’s Spriet Stage will be their sacred ground.

🎟️ Tickets are on sale in-person at our Box Office, by phone at (519) 672-8800, and online at GRANDTHEATRE.COM (link in our bio). 2025/26 Season Subscribers save 15% when they add Disney’s NEWSIES to their season ✅
