New York City, 1899. How do you get your newspaper? A newskid, of course! Jack Kelly is one of them. Like any kid, he has dreams - he longs to move outside the city and live the life of an artist.

When newspaper king Joseph Pulitzer hikes up his profits by way of the newskids earnings, Kelly leads an uprising against the poor wages and working conditions faced by his fellow workers. A reporter, Katherine Plumber, uses the power of the press to bring attention to their cause, helping the entire city recognize the power of people, even the young and small.

Based on the actual Newsboy Strike of 1899, Newsies is a lively musical that takes on meaningful and timeless themes of social justice, the history of labor movements, and the power of the underdog.

NEWSIES is performed by 31 local youth performers and staged with original choreography, costuming, and set design and accompanied by a live band!
