Welcome to LHS as we proudly present Newsies! Come along side us as we venture into turn-of-the-century New York City and the true story of the Newsies newspaper strike when the price of papers continued to increase. We know you will enjoy the show! I have had an extremely rewarding experience working with this fun, talented, committed, and thoughtful group of students. I am so proud of the fact that we have 78 students participating in the musical this year between cast, crew, and pit. They have worked hard and put in numerous hours on and off the stage to make this show a success. It’s fun to be a part of the process and watch the development of the show take place. I would like to thank ALL of the many people and hands that have helped to make this production successful. A very special thank you to my amazing co-director, Rachel Becker, without whom this show would not be what it is, to Kelly Kirk, my extremely dedicated student teacher, to Michelle McKaig, our amazing costume coordinator, for the fantastic costuming, to Wade Thatcher and his team for all of the tech support, Amanda Stevens for heading up our set/prop crew, to Candace Boone and the pit band for their countless hours, and to Geoff Hammons, Adam Hart, Aaron Acton, and Mike and Ramona Smith for set and prop support. Thank you also to my family for encouraging me in my passion for the performing arts. Most importantly to God…may He receive the glory for all of this talent. Please sit back, and enjoy what promises to be a fun and entertaining show!
