From staff reports
Beaufort Middle School’s musical theatre performers are hard at work in rehearsals preparing to perform their production of “Newsies, Jr.!”
Based on the real events of 1899, the show profiles the New York newsies, kids who sold newspapers on the street, as they went on strike for the chance to earn a living wage. The production stars Beaufort Middle School students in Grades 6-8, who showcase their acting, dancing, and vocal skills; direction/choreography by Christi Barr; and music direction by Mary Lara.
The show will run for two nights – Thursday, April 10 and Friday, April 11. The show starts at 7 p.m. each night at Beaufort High School’s Performing Arts Center. Tickets are available on the Beaufort Middle School website and at the door.
