Fond du Lac Community Theatre (FDLCT) will host the fun and family-friendly production of Disney’s “Newsies JR.” The show is a 60-minute musical based on the 1992 motion picture and 2012 Broadway musical. “We’re excited to showcase the talent of so many children in our community,” Tracy Qualmann, Board of Directors, President, said. “This production is part of our Children’s Encore Productions. Each year, we hold one show composed entirely of children from our community. It is remarkable the talent we have here.” Inspired by true events, Newsies Jr. tells the story of the newsboys who rallied across New York City to strike against unfair working conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what’s right. FDLCT will present “Newsies Jr.” at the Goodrich Little Theatre, located at 72 W. 9th Street, Fond du Lac, WI. The show is about an hour long and is appropriate for all ages 5 and up. Showtimes are July 27, 28 and 29 at 7 p.m. and July 30 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available online at hometowntickets.com/fdlct or in person at Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts.
