Now in its third summer, Studio Vibe Arts is getting ready to stage the season’s main-stage musical Aug. 11-14. A cast of 32 young people spanning ages from elementary school to post-graduation have been spending their days at the TAK Music Venue in Dilworth. Directed by Henrickson, two choreographers and a music director, they are practicing their singing, dancing and stagecraft for “Newsies,” a musical based on the 1992 movie based on the New York City newsboy strike of 1899.
