One of our Newport Theater Camp students, , has been performing nearly all her life. We are thrilled to give her a place to explore dance again, and hope anybody (and any body) can discover (or rediscover) their love for the performing arts here.

Please join us for the annual Bump & Grind Ball on April 25–a yearly fundraiser for The Newport Theater! Tickets are available at NewportTheater.com/fundraiser or the Eventbrite link in our bio! 🎟️

Check out in our upcoming Peek-Easy, this Saturday 2/28 at 7pm (link in bio).

The Newport Theater is a queer-run, not-for-profit, fringe arts venue with classes offered year round in burlesque, drag, clowning, and various performance skills. We’re located in the heart of Lakeview Chicago, and our next class registration starts in March!
