(The app has a green background and a white letter “b”) Click on this link to join the Newsies channel. Please accept the invitation. Emails are more easily forgotten, filtered, or deleted--so we will only periodically send out emails--rely on BAND. Please fix your settings so you will receive BAND notifications.
The production fee is $249. This needs to be paid as soon as possible. The fee needs to be paid before your child can participate in the production.

If you have conflicts with the rehearsal and/or performance schedule that were not previously mentioned please indicate those conflicts before Monday, July 3rd. After July 3rd we ask no new conflicts to be added (except for an emergency). Send any changes/updates to conflicts in an email to hello@encorepa.org.
Mandatory Parent meeting
Monday, July 17th from 6:30 - 7:15 pm. This is the first day of rehearsal. All cast members are to attend as well. It is important that a parent or guardian attend this first meeting to ensure all the paperwork is complete and the fees have been paid. We will provide you with important information and you will meet the production team. Cast members will then stay for rehearsal from 7:15-9:30pm to conduct a read through of the script and the Director will add insight to the story and the show. This will take place at Electric Theater (68 E Tabernacle)
Dance Pre Rehearsal Workshop
On June 14, 15 & 16 the Newsies production team will be holding a pre rehearsal dance workshop with our choreographer Danielle. This free to the Newsies cast workshop is not mandatory but highly recommended. It will be assumed that you will attend but if you are unable to attend please let Justine know (435-414-0049). Additional detail TDB.
Rehearsal schedule
Stay tuned for rehearsal location. They will change periodically
Rehearsals: July 17-Sept 7 Monday-Thursday 6:30- 9:30 pm (Note Saturday Sept 9th 9:00 - 4:00 pm for tech)
Rehearsal Location:- We will be at a couple different locations: The Electric Theater and the St. George Academy. Please check the rehearsal schedule on BAND for the exact location of rehearsal that day. Not everyone will be called everyday. Watch the calendar on BAND for rehearsal schedule. We recommend you look at the calendar after 3 pm each day to make sure you see the latest rehearsal information--just in case anything changes overnight
Be prepared: We ask you to send your child to all rehearsals with the following materials: script, two or more sharpened pencils and erasers, highlighter, water/beverage bottle (stay hydrated) and a snack (if needed, you know your child best if they need something to eat during a 3-4 hour rehearsal). Please wear comfortable clothing and wear/bring the appropriate footwear as we will often do music, choreo and blocking on the same night. They might also bring homework, a book, video game or headphones so they can stay busy during rehearsal downtime.
