City of Erie 2019 Summer Parks &Recreation Programs

A Summer Welcome from Mayor Joe SchemberIt’s hard to beat an Erie summer. The sun is brighter, the days are longer, and there’s no shortage of things to do outside.

Now is the time to get involved in activities like tennis, swimming, yoga, and theatre— or one of my favorites, basketball. Whatever you do, make sure to get moving this summer. Enjoy our parks, join a league, or just get outside.

Our vision for Erie celebrates our diverse cultures and welcoming, vibrant neighborhoods. This summer, let’s talk to each other, help out our neighbors, and take pride in where we live. Erie’s transformation starts with each of us, one neighbor at a time.

Join me at Dobbins Landing for Lights Over Lake Erie, our July 3 fireworks celebration. Catch a Sounds of Summer concert in June or July. And experience the unique businesses, art, culture, food, and talent at CelebrateErie in August. Make the Summer of 2019 your best one yet!

See you around town,

Joe Schember

Mid-Day DANCE Break! Perry Square • All Ages!Thursdays, 12noon-1pm

June 13, June 20, June 27, July 11, July 25, and August 1Crime Victim Center (CVC) is pleased to again pair with Jennifer Dennehy to bring an interactive art series called “Mid-Day Dance Break” (MDDB) to downtown Erie during June, July and August. Six performance/workshop sessions on Thursdays, from noon to 1 p.m. at Perry Square, will bring dance and art into people’s lives, providing a holistic viewpoint, and enriching the community with themes of empowerment and fun. Dates for this year’s sessions are: June 13, June 20, June 27, July 11, July 25, and August 1.

The overall theme for Dance Break is Empowerment. Each week, dance performers will convey that theme through a brief performance of their dance style, followed a workshop portion to allow audience members to try out the dance style. MDDB also features a weekly visual artist who will create a piece inspired by that session. The artist will be present, sketching, photographing, or working on the piece. At the project’s conclusion, this artwork will go on display and sale in gallery format at CVC, with proceeds split between the visual artist and this project’s revenue. Additionally, an established group of amateur artists who participate in CVC’s Creative Healing Group (CHG) will create art inspired by MDDB to join that of the gallery.

Show Synopsis:

New York City, 1899. Jack Kelly and his ragtag team of newsboys make a meager living selling newspapers on the city streets. But when the prices of “papes” are hiked and the newsies are hung out to dry, there is nothing left to do but “open the gates and seize the day!” Led by charismatic Jack and independent, young newspaper reporter Katherine Plummer, the Newsies form a union and organize a strike against the greedy publisher of the New York World. Can a group of idealistic newsboys win against a foe as powerful as acclaimed publisher Joseph Pulitzer? Inspired by the true story of the 1899 Newsboys Strike, Newsies is an ebullient, joyful, and entertaining musical capturing the strength that young people have when they join together and stand up against injustice. With a funny, poignant book by Harvey Feirstein and stunning music by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman -- including the show-stopping Seize the Day, power ballad “Santa Fe” and lovely new songs like Katherine’s “Watch What Happens“ -- Newsies is a classic with the power to inspire.

Registration: June 10th anytime between 9am and 3pm in the Strong Vincent Middle School auditorium

Rehearsals start June 11th at Strong Vincent Middle School

Performances are July 31, August, 1 and 2.
