“Nothing happens if you just give in. It can’t be any worse than how it’s been” - Newsies At its heart, Newsies is a story about young people who refuse to believe that the world has to stay unfair just because powerful forces say it should. These are kids with very little power on paper. They don’t have money, status, or influence. What they do have is a strong sense of what’s fair and the courage to stand up when something isn’t right. It’s a story set over a century ago, but it feels unmistakably current. In a country still shaped by money, influence, and inequity, Newsies asks an urgent question: what happens when ordinary people decide they’ve had enough? Working on this show with kids has been genuinely inspiring. Young people have an incredible ability to see injustice clearly and to believe that things can be better. In rehearsals, I was constantly reminded that kids already understand the heart of this story. They know what it means to stand up for themselves and for each other, even when it feels uncomfortable or risky. Watching them grow into these roles has been one of the most hopeful parts of this process. At a time when it can feel hard to be optimistic about the world, Newsies reminds us that progress has always started with people who were told to stay quiet and refused. Often, those people were young. My hope is that this production entertains you, but also leaves you thinking about the power of young voices, the importance of standing up for what you believe in, and the real change that can happen when people choose courage over silence. - Lanni Luce West
