Ryann Barnes as Katherine and Carson Sanie as Jack in the Menlo-Atherton Drama production of the hit Broadway musical “Newsies!” Based on the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899, this Disney musical tells the story a ragtag team of newsboys who make a meager living selling newspapers on the streets of New York City. When the newspaper price is increased, they form a union and organize a strike against the greedy publisher of the New York World. Led by charismatic Jack Kelly and independent reporter Katherine Plumber, can a group of idealistic “newsies” win against a foe as powerful as Joseph Pulitzer? Come see Menlo-Atherton Drama’s production of Newsies to find out.
