🎭 Did you know? Newsies isn’t just a musical… it’s based on a TRUE story!

In 1899, newsboys (kids selling newspapers!) went on strike in New York, standing up against powerful publishers who were treating them unfairly. They fought for their rights, their voices were heard, and they made HISTORY.

That’s what makes Newsies so special — it’s full of energy, heart, courage, and teamwork. 💥

This summer, our cast won’t just be performing… they’ll be:
✨ Learning storytelling through real-life history
✨ Building confidence and stage presence
✨ Developing singing, acting, and dance skills
✨ Becoming part of an inspiring ensemble

And the best part? EVERYONE is welcome to join the cast.

So if your child loves performing (or wants to grow in confidence), this is their moment to “seize the day!” ☀️
