The Charles Seller Foundation and Talent Time Players Proudly Present - Newsies!

Bloomfield High School

In 1950, a young man named Charles Seller was struck by a train, losing one of his legs. His family and friends came together to put on a variety show named Talent Time to aid in his medical costs. This started a tradition in Bloomfield, NJ, that has lasted for more than 70 years. Each summer our members, who are in their mid teens to early thirties, produce and perform a musical in which all profits go towards someone in the area with high medical bills. This year The Charles Seller Foundation’s Talent Time Players present Newsies to benefit Justin Corino of Bloomfield. This year's beneficiary is 3 year old Justin Corino of Bloomfield. Justin was diagnosed in August of 2022 with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is a quickly progressing cancer that begins in the bone marrow of the body.For Justin and his family it has been almost daily hospital visits for either lab work, chemotherapy treatments, sedations, and/or physical therapy. This has been a very difficult adjustment for Justin and his family, especially for his almost two-year-old brother, Owen. He has learned how to adapt to his new obstacles and lets nothing stand in his way!Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story of the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, this musical tells the story of Jack Kelly, a rebellious newsboy who dreams of a life as an artist away from the big city. After publishing giant Joseph Pulitzer raises newspaper prices at the newsboys’ expense, Kelly and his fellow newsies take action. With help from the beautiful female reporter Katherine Plumber, all of New York City soon recognizes the power of “the little man.” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience. The Charles Seller Foundation and Talent Time production of Newsies is produced by Fallon Garretson and directed by James Miles, with musical direction by Rebecca Polynice, choreography by Tina Armenti with assistant choreography by Caitlin Miller, stage managed by Julia Debiak, costume design by Mariaelena Alameda and Taylor Piekarz, and set design by Joe Verga. Newsies will be performed at the Bloomfield High School Auditorium, located at 160 Broad Street in Bloomfield, with performances on August 3rd, 4th, 5th*, 10th, 11th and 12th*. (*denotes a 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm performance.)
