originally published: 03/25/2016


(NEWTON, NJ) — During the months of March and April 2016, Sundog Theatre will perform Ellis Island: Gateway to a Dream, a one-hour musical about the historical journey of new immigrants through Ellis Island to students in New Jersey & New York.  The performance comes to the Newton Theatre on April 6.  Many school districts from throughout the area have been invited to attend the performance.

“Ellis Island is a significant project for students to learn about differences in past and present. Our goal at Sundog is to provide students with a memorable experience about history and individual strength," said Susan Fenley, Executive Director.

The program is sponsored, in part, by public funding from NYC Department of Cultural Affairs & the City Council, specifically Council Members Steven Matteo and Joseph Borelli.

The Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, NJ.
