Disney’s Newsies Jr. Musical At NorShor Theatre

DULUTH, MINN. — The Duluth Playhouse Youth Theater is presenting Disney’s Newsies Jr. this weekend.

Thursday night the talented actors held a preview of the 75-minute musical at the NorShor Theatre.

This was the first time the 26 talented youth had performed the play in front of an audience, but they had been rehearsing for about the past six weeks.

Opening night was Friday as the musical had a 6 p.m. performance.  There are four other opportunities to see the show at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The show is designed for everyone. Two of the performances will be geared toward children with special needs.

“We also have at one PM on Saturday is our ASL interpretive performance and at one PM on Sunday is our relaxed performance. So if you have young people in your family or if you have children on the spectrum who require a little bit of flexibility we have that performance available for them as well,” said Courtney Laine Self, director and choreographer.

Tickets range from $10 to $25.
