Wild Horse Theater announces auditions for Newsies
Now is the time to seize the day!
Stop the presses! Wild Horse Children’s Theater looking for actors, singers and dancers, ages 8-21, for the Northern Nevada premiere of the Disney film turned Tony-winning Broadway hit, "Newsies."
Auditions will be held on Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2 at the Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall. Auditions are by appointment only! You must call for an audition slot.
Performances are June 28-30, July 5-7 at the Carson City Community Center.
Please Note: This is not a “Junior” production. It is the full musical. If you are 8 or 9 years old with dance training, you may audition for "Newsies," but we are not taking everyone who auditions.
Young actors must be mature, independent, self-sufficient and be able to endure the rigor of a demanding rehearsal schedule for a production with adult content.
Although our usual policy is to find a role for everyone who auditions, if you are under the age of 10, we cannot guarantee you will be cast in this show.

It’s time to carry the banner with Disney’s "Newsies"! Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, "Newsies" is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of "newsies."
When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsies' expense, Jack rallies them from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right!
Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, "Newsies" features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman, and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots).
Featuring the now classic songs "Carrying the Banner," "Seize the Day," and "Santa Fe," "Newsies" is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience.
We are looking for a large, energetic cast! Except for a few female characters, "Newsies" has always been a male heavy show.
To create more opportunities for female actors, we will be using gender flexible casting in some of the lead roles and ensemble. In fact, historically, many girls fought the good fight in the Strike of 1899!
