Join The BCCC Foundation For A Trip To See Newsies | Eastern NC Now

    Join the Beaufort County Community College Foundation, Saturday, June 6, for a trip to Durham to see the stage production of the 2012 Tony Award Winning musical, Newsies.

    The cost of the trip, open to all BCCC students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the college, is $200 per person. Final payment is due by May 18.

    The price of the trip includes transportation to and from Durham, lunch and tickets for seats in the orchestra section at the Durham Performing Arts Center in downtown Durham.

    The trip will leave the parking lot at BCCC by 9 a.m. and travel to Durham for lunch at The Tobacco Road Sports Café overlooking the Durham Bulls athletic field. A locally-owned restaurant the Tobacco Road sport Café is inspired by the unique sports climate of North Carolina and its "Tobacco Road" schools. Lunch will be served on the patio.

    After lunch, the group will go to DPAC for a matinee performance of Newsies, the exhilarating musical that won two Tony awards in 2012 including Best Score. With a book by renowned Broadway impresario, Harvey Fierstein Newsies tells the story of a band of underdogs who become unlikely heroes when they stand up to the most powerful men in New York. Based on true events, it's a rousing tale about fighting for what's right.

    After the performance, participants will depart Durham for the trip home and enjoy light refreshments on the bus.
