Thalian Association Community Theatre

2025-2026 Youth Season

Youth Productions on theSecond Street Stage at the HBHUSO/Community Arts Center

Friday-Saturday at 7:30pm, Sundays at 3:00pm

Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.

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.
