PEQUOT LAKES — Pequot Lakes Community Theatre announces the cast for its production of the Disney musical “Newsies.”
“Newsies” is based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by the true story of the newsboys’ strike in 1899. Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, the musical tells the story of Jack Kelly, the charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged newsies.
When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsboys from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what is right.
