The Fine Arts Association presents Disney’s "Newsies"
The Fine Arts Association (FAA) is excited to present Disney’s Newsies. Packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, Newies is perfect for the whole family and every audience. The production opens on Friday, March 28 and continues through Sunday, April 13, 2025.
Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged “newsies.” When the titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right.
Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman, and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). The production includes the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe”.
Newsies is sponsored by Comfort Systems USA and supported by Tour Lake County and the Ohio Arts Council.
