Its 44th Summer Musical
Music By Alan Menken Lyrics By Jack Feldman Booked By Harvey Fierstein
Performances: July 23 - August 2, 2026 Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
It's time to carry the banner on your stage with Disney's Newsies! Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies 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 newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right!
