  • Disney's NEWSIES to Take SHS Stage
    Disney’s NEWSIES to take SHS Stage Students at SHS are hard at work preparing this year’s spring musical, Newsies. The show will be presented in the SHS auditorium on March 12-14 and 19-21 at 7 p.m. and March 15 at 1 p.m. Adult tickets are $7 and student and senior (60+) tickets are $5. All tickets are reserved seating only and go on sale at the SHS Box Office on February 20. Box office hours will be 8-11 a.m. weekdays or by phone/voicemail (anytime) at 715-635-0210. Messages can also be left by emailing [email protected] Newsies is rich with history still relevant today. Set in turn-of-the Nineteenth Century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged "newsies." Newsies is based on the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899. The New York newsies – boys and girls who sold newspapers on the street – went up against two newspaper publishers, Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal, to fight for the chance to earn a livable wage. 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, 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).

    RATED: PG PERFORMANCE GUIDE 1 PNC pulls back the curtain on NC Theatre’s 2017-2018 season to share a series of behind the scenes experiences with audience members of all ages. PNC’s In the Director’s Chair provides a window into the creative process. By expanding the way audiences engage in regional performances—experiencing not only the final product, but every step in between—NC Theatre is able to provide an immersive, comprehensive understanding of all the dedicated work that goes into producing an NC Theatre Show. PNC and NC Theatre are proud to give patrons a brand new perspective – In the Director’s Chair. 2 IS MADE POSSIBLE BY 3 NC THEATRE: YOUR BROADWAY CONNECTION North Carolina Theatre is Raleigh’s regional professional musical theatre company. In 1983, Raleigh's City Manager, Mr. L.P. Zachary, invited Carolina Regional Theatre- with the deft direction of De Ann Jones- to make its permanent home in Raleigh Memorial Auditorium under contract with the City. The Theatre debuted with Camelot the musical in Spring of the following year. Opening with 825 season tickets sold and a total audience of 24,000, Camelot marked the beginning of the Theatre's new direction. With this overarching support as inspiration, in May of 1984 the name was changed to North Carolina Theatre. Today, North Carolina Theatre serves as the home of quality musical theatre productions in central North Carolina, drawing more than 50,000 visitors to Raleigh Memorial Auditorium each year. Our Mission Culture: Feed the spirit of local citizens by broad access to live theatre, while strengthening economic growth.

  • Newsies Role Descriptions
    Newsies Role Descriptions About the accents: Students who watch the movie or listen to the Broadway soundtrack will notice that many characters speak with a New York accent. Actors are welcome to use an accent when they audition, but it is not required. Because the characters in the story can be portrayed as coming from a variety of places in America and beyond, we will decide on each character’s “voice” (including accent) for performance once the roles are cast. About role genders: You will notice that many roles are listed as “male OR female playing male.” The lead roles in this show are overwhelmingly male characters. Because this story is based on an actual historical event, and nearly all newsies were male, we will still be costuming all newsies as “boys,” but most roles (as noted below) are available for performers of any gender. THE NEWSIES JACK KELLY Male, sings solo, many lines, some dancing, stage combat The charismatic leader of the Manhattan newsies, is an oprhaned dreamer and artist who yearns to get out of the crowded streets of New York and make a better life for himself out West. Fiercely protective of his friends and strongly loyal, Jack isn’t afraid to use his voice to attain better conditions for the working kids of New York City. Though living on the streets has given him a tough-guy exterior, Jack has a big heart and can demonstrate a sweet vulnerability.

A story of kids taking a stand for their rights against all odds. This musical, with all it’s fun dance numbers and upbeat music, is based on a real life strike that New York’s newsboys had so that they might be treated fairly after a devas- tating war. This show encapsulated that even though you’re young you can still change the world for the better. It’s a show full of grit, heart and the power of our youths’ voices. A truly inspiring tale that still speaks to what our minimum wage workers are still fighting for today, in a fast paced musical package.

Fiercely protective of his best friend, Crutchie, and strongly loyal, Jack isn’t afraid to use his voice to attain better conditions for the working kids of New York City. Though living on the streets has given him a tough-guy exterior, Jack has a big heart and can demonstrate a sweet vulnerability – especially when it comes to bantering with a certain female reporter. Must have a great pop tenor voice and sense of physicality. Gender: Male Accent: yes Age: 16 to 22 Vocal range top: A4 Vocal range bottom: Bb2 Crutchie A dedicated newsie with a bum leg that’s painful, but helps sell more papes. Though he walks with the assistance of a crutch, Crutchie doesn’t let it define him; when in a jam, Jack Kelly’s best friend relies on a goofy- sweet sense of humor and optimistic resilience. Crutchie is the heart of the resistance. Though his movement will suggest his bum leg, Crutchie should still be included in the dance numbers.
