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.

Dodgeball! Flirting! Selfies! The cool bench! Body spray for men! All the Horrors of Middle School! Plus, the usual victims: The nerds, the jocks, the preps, the punkers and many others, team up to demonstrate the “worst” catastrophes of their generation in this one-act comedy about fitting in and finding acceptance.
While poking fun at teenaged insecurities and superficial stereotypes, this fast-paced vignette-style play examines the obstacles and pitfalls of middle school and reminds all those who have already traversed that world that nostalgia isn’t what it used to be. This cheerful production will warm the heart of anyone who dares experience the 30 Horrible Catastrophes of Middle School!
