And with that, we say goodbye to Newsies. STRIKE… a word that held so much hope, power, and conviction for this show, now means that it’s all over. As we strike the set tonight, we will never forget how this show, just for a few months, made all of our lives brighter. For some of us this will be the last time we grace the stage at Derry Area. For many others, this is an unforgettable beginning. We thank every single person that came out to see our show. We cannot wait to see you again. This show certainly made the headlines and the world will forever know what we did here ❤️

Just like the Newsies from all over New York City, when we all join together, great things can happen. One of the biggest highlights of this production has been having students from Grandview Elementary, Derry Area Middle School, and Derry Area High School up on stage together telling the story of kids their age making incredible changes for workers rights 127 years ago. We are so proud of all of our students and cannot wait to have them back on stage. But for now, they have 2 MORE NIGHTS OF NEWSIES!!! Grab your tickets at the door or online at dahsmusical.ludus.com. Doors open at 6:15 and the show begins at 7 tonight!

Doors for our Sunday matinee open at 1:15 and the show begins at 2!
