Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Step into the streets of New York City, 1899, and meet a group of spirited newsies—young boys and girls who sell newspapers on the bustling streets to make ends meet. Led by the fearless Jack Kelly, these determined youth face tough working conditions and greedy newspaper publishers who raise the price of papers, threatening their livelihoods. When the newsies realize their voices must be heard, they band together to organize a strike, navigating friendship, loyalty, and the challenges of standing up to powerful adults. Along the way, they encounter new allies, face personal struggles, and discover the true power of courage and community.
This production is brought to life by the Oshawa Little Theatre Youth Group, featuring an all-youth orchestra, giving young performers and musicians the chance to shine both on stage and in the pit. Packed with show-stopping songs, dazzling choreography, and a story about resilience and standing up for what’s right, Newsies is a celebration of youth, determination, and the power to make positive change.
