Newburgh, New York- Our small city has more churches per capita than any other city in the U.S. We have the broadest Broadway in the U.S. A higher crime rate than New York City. Our dropout rates are astounding. Our unemployment rate is too. We have a large Historical District. Hey kids! George Washington slept here!

Thieves' Carnival

Newburgh Free Academy- AArts Academy performed Thieves' Carnival (Friday and Saturday 7:00 p.m.) in the Black Box Theater. It was terrific. The play itself is hilariously funny. The kids were really good in their roles. The kids were able to develop multi layered characters with physical traits, vocal traits and costuming.

Slapstick is not dead. There was extraordinary physical comedy. The ability of the kids to get their timing right on the delivery of their funniest lines was astounding.

Too bad the play runs only one weekend.
