          Seize the day! Disney's NEWSIES seizes the stage at CVLT this
          summer

    CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Set in turn-of-the-century New York City,
    Disney's NEWSIES is a musical about taking a stand. Based on the
    1992 Disney film of the same name, the show features a Tony
    Award-winning score by Alan Menken (/Little Mermaid, Aladdin/) and
    Jack Feldman, and book by Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (/Kinky
    Boots/). NEWSIES will appear on the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre
    main stage at 40 River Street from July 22 through August 13.
    Performances will be Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM with two
    Sunday matinees on July 31 and August 8 at 2 PM.

    The story of NEWSIES is inspired by the real-life newsboys' strike
    of 1899, but its themes remain fresh over a century later. It's a
    rousing story of passion and perseverence that highlights the power
    of young people to organize in the fight against opression and to
    take on the issues that directly affect them.

    NEWSIES follows Jack Kelly (Tony Heffner), a charismatic newsboy and
    leader of a band of homeless teens who sell newspapers to make a
    small living. Jack has his eye on Katherine (Emily Sedmak), a
    reporter who happens to be the daughter of newspaper titan Joseph
    Pulitzer (Rob Albrecht). When Pulitzer raises paper distribution
    prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies his fellow newsies
    across the city to fight against the unfair conditions.

    Directed by Pamela LaForce with musical director David Coxe, NEWSIES
    intertwines this coming-of-age story with high tension action,
    uplifting music, and energetic dance numbers choreographed by Jen
    Justice.

    The talented cast features Micah Saunders as Crutchie, Jake Kleve as
    Davey, Vivian Morrison as Les, Theresa Benyo-Marzullo as Medda
    Larkin, and Amanda Nyx as Hannah.The show also features Ev Brodsky,
    Sam Gielink, Thomas Hart, Julian Kruyne, Lucy ‘Red’ Mango, Rachel
    Marzullo, Tobias Morrison, Bekah Neubecker, James Newton, Alex
    Petsche, Neil Rubin, Tim Russell, Kelly Scott, Jake Spencer, Kate
    Tobin, Genevieve Vince, and Deb Zep-Douglas.

    seating is $21, with a $4 discount for seniors, students, and
    military. Group rates are available for parties of 10 or more - call
