Playhouse 1960 announces their production of Newsies for the holiday season. 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 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). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience.
Under the direction of Trish Gant, Newsies runs December 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22 @ 8:00 pm and December 9 & 16 @ 3:00 pm. Opening night offers a champagne reception following the performance with the cast. Playhouse 1960 is located at 6814 Gant Road, Houston Tx. Tickets are available at www.playhouse1960.com. Prices are Adults $21.00; Seniors (55+), Students, Active Military and Spouses $18.00. Playhouse 1960 is a nonprofit all-volunteer community theatre.
