What To Know About This Production

Get ready to "carry the banner" in RPAC's full length production of Newsies. 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!

Venue location and exact show dates are still TBD but will be announced as soon as possible.
