The Lakeland Ridge Wolves Drama team is excited to announce this year's production of Disney's Newsies JR.!
Disney's Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film. 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.
The production is off to an exciting start! We have held auditions and cast the show, and actors are working on choreography, music, acting, blocking. Our tech crew is in the initial stages of set, costume, makeup, prop, and lighting design.
