Exit 7 Players is thrilled to announce that we will be conducting summer youth theater workshops for young actors again this summer at Exit 7! These workshops are open to youth ages 7 - 13 and no prior acting experience is required. In these workshops, youth will have the opportunity to learn the basics of acting and stagecraft, participate in set and prop making, and present a sharing and performance for family and friends every Friday on the Paul R. Hamel stage.

Dates: Week One - July 11 – 15, Monday - Friday

Week Two - July 18 – 22, Monday - Friday

Youth may attend week one or week two, or both sessions.

Times: 9 am - 2 pm, Monday-Thursday, 9 am -12 pm Friday, with performance and sharing for family and friends at the theater on Friday at noon.

We believe that youth benefit from theater in many ways. Theater fosters creativity and builds self-confidence. It also encourages cooperation and critical thinking. These workshops also provide an opportunity for youth to meet new friends in a safe and rewarding environment.

Exit 7 Youth Players: Disney Newsies!

New York City, 1899. Jack Kelly and his ragtag team of newsboys make a meager living selling newspapers on the city streets. But when the prices of “papes” are hiked and the newsies are hung out to dry, there is nothing left to do but “open the gates and seize the day!” Led by charismatic Jack and independent, young newspaper reporter Katherine Plummer, the Newsies form a union and organize a strike against the greedy publisher of the New York World. Can a group of idealistic newsboys win against a foe as powerful as acclaimed publisher Joseph Pulitzer?

Inspired by the true story of the 1899 Newsboys Strike, Newsies is an ebullient, joyful, and entertaining musical capturing the strength that young people have when they join together and stand up against injustice. With a funny, poignant book by Harvey Feirstein and stunning music by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman -- including the show-stopping Seize the Day, power ballad “Santa Fe” and lovely new songs like Katherine’s “Watch What Happens -- Newsies is a classic with the power to inspire.

Something Rotten Tickets Now Available

October 14-30, 2022

Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten. Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, Something Rotten was lauded by audience members and critics alike, receiving several Best Musical nominations and hailed by Time Out New York as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years".

Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
