This year’s Junior High Musical, “Newsies, Jr” will be performed in the brand-new Performance Center Dec. 1-3.
Newsies is based on the true story of the 1899 newsboys' strike, and real-life newsie Kid Blink was the inspiration for the musical's lead, Jack Kelly. Jack's right-hand man, Davey, is based on real-life union president David Simmons, while Katherine Plumber is named for Joseph Pulitzer's daughter.
