The Newsies Jr. production will include a free Log Art Theatre Academy Performance Workshop with the show’s producer, Angela R. Godin, that focuses on basic theatre concepts, tools and techniques to enhance characterization, character dissection and back story creation, improvisational skills, monologue and line delivery development, and the use of historic and economic status to allow campers to transform themselves. It will engage all levels of proficiency, while educating the participants on the history of the current show in production.
ABOUT NEWSIES JR:
Disney's Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, 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.
