About the event
Middle School MainStage with the illuminate Choir & High Notes Children's Choir in Concert
The Newsies Strike of 1899 is a true story about a battle for proper wages, a strike against some of the most powerful men in New York City. And it was lead by… underprivileged newsboys as young as seven. Our Mainstage Productions are full of energetic musical numbers, heartwarming performances, and spectacular special effects. Don't miss it!
Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein. When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys’ expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what’s right. Including the now-classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies JR. is a timeless story full of spirit and heart.
