61 local youth have been working hard at our Acting Out Youth Camp and are excited to perform Disney's Newsies Jr. under the direction of Amy Baker Stout, Amanda Marzo, Mac Syverson and Abby Seward. Several Acting Out Youth Alumni are helping out with student teaching as well. 

At dawn on a summer morning in 1899, NEWSIES -  the young boys and girls of New York who peddle newspapers to CUSTOMERS throughout the city – chaotically shout the daily headlines. Meanwhile, JOSEPH PULITZER , the publisher of the World, vows to fight declining circulation of the newspaper. He and his staff – BUNSEN, SEITZ, and HANNAH – cook up an idea, but at the expense of the newsies.

The next morning, the newsies are outraged to learn that Pulitzer has raised the price of newspapers. Prompted by Davey, the newsies decide to form a union and strike. Can a group of idealistic news boys and girls win against a foe as powerful as acclaimed publisher Joseph Pulitzer?

Come see Newises Jr. and find out!
