Middle School students staged a wonderful production of Newsies Junior. 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 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.
More than 40 students—both on and off stage—were involved in bringing this play to life in the Barton-Test Theater. Bravo to all of our talented students and to the play’s director, Alex Ates, Director of Pre-K-12 Visual and Performing Arts! You can see more photos from the production here.
