It was a "Seize the Day" moment at CMS this week! We were thrilled to host four Broadway powerhouses, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Ben Fankhauser, Liana Hunt, and Adam Kaplan, from the original Broadway cast of Newsies. Accompanied by a dynamic three-man band, these stars performed a spectacular one-night fundraiser to support our very own Coleytown Company.

Beyond the show-stopping vocals, the performers shared a powerful message on the vital importance of arts education. The magic continued the next day when Adam Kaplan joined our student cast during rehearsal for an exclusive Q&A and professional feedback session. We are so grateful for their talent and their support of our budding performers!
