KidzAct: Disney’s Newsies Teen & Newsies Jr Auditions

Extra Extra!  One show!  Two casts!

In The Naples Players/KidzAct summer tradition we are doing two casts of Newsies!  Both productions will work with the same number of performances, and the same technical elements with the full support and design of TNP’s production staff.  Two exciting visions to tell the epic story of the Newsies.

Disney’s Newsies Show Synopsis

A timeless story full of spirit and heart, Disney’s Newsies is inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City. 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.
