Newsical is a throwback to the kind of political satire on stage that was once as prevalent as it is in film and television now. Created at a breakneck pace to keep up with the day�s news cycle, Newsical spoofs both current events as well as perennial media targets. This satirical musical send-up is updated with new songs every week.

Democracy stars Kim Cea, Jeff Skowron, Stephanie Kurtzuba and Todd Alan Johnson.

Set design is by Peter P. Allburn, costumes by David Kaley and lighting by Michael Flink
