Newsies

Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, this musical featuring a Tony Award-winning score is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged “newsies.” When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions for what’s right. The production is based on the 1992 film and inspired by a true story. For more details, visit www.arkansaspublictheatre.org.
