TICKET GIVEAWAY
We have a double-pass to the musical Newsies Jr opening night at the Little Theatre tomorrow night to give away to the first person to private message us. The show is being put on by Stage Door Productions. The one-hour production is a junior version of the hit 2012 Broadway musical Newsies, based on the 1992 Disney film. The story is inspired by the true events of the 1899 newsboys’ strike in New York City, where a group of young workers took on the city’s biggest newspaper publishers in a fight for fair treatment.
