About the Show

Disney’s Newsies JR. is based on the 1992 film. Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.

When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys’ expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what’s right.

Including the now-classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies JR. is a timeless story full of spirit and heart.

This is a Camelot Players Production.  All actors in 7th-12th grade are eligible with no prerequisite.  Actors as young as 10 may join if you have previous Camelot Players experience or have experience and permission from the director.  If you have questions please email Michele@creativekidsplayhouse.com

What our community is saying about us…

Everyone has a chance to shine

My daughter will be doing her third full length musical with CKP this spring and has done 2 summer camps with them as well. She absolutely loves this program and it’s been great to watch her grow and shine on stage. What I appreciate the most is that she has learned that every part is important, supporting or lead, and it’s not about the solos or number of lines that a part has that makes the show. Instead, it is about everyone working together to make the show come together and that everyone has a chance to shine. The staff and teachers are wonderful and do get to know the kids individually. (Also the convenience of having it as an after-school program at her school can’t be beat!)
