Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged “newsies.” When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right!
The production team includes Director, Jennifer Conley Darling, Music Director, Stacy Root, and Choreographer, Tricia Taylor. Jeremy Root, Assistant Music Director says, “We are thrilled to be partnering on Newsies. With both organizations having a great history of large-scale productions, we know this collaboration will provide a great opportunity for all involved,”. Director, Jennifer Conley Darling says, “We are excited to be expanding the age groups this year for such an epic production. And to be working in the beautiful auditorium at the high school while continuing to raise the bar with such a talented production team.”
If cast, there is a participation fee of $50 for each selected cast member.
