Centre Stage Youth Theatre Company are excited to bring 'Newsies Jr' to Daneside Theatre. Set in New York City, 1899, Jack Kelly and his team of newsboys survive by living and selling newspapers on the city streets. When the prices of papes are hiked and the Newsies are hung out to dry, there is nothing left to do but open the gates and seize the day! Led by charismatic Jack and young newspaper reporter Katherine Plummer, the Newsies form a union and organise a strike against the greedy publisher of the New York World, Joseph Pulitzer. Inspired by the true story of the 1899 Newsboys Strike, Newsies Jr is a joyful, and entertaining musical capturing the strength that young people have when they join together and stand up against injustice.
