Coming December 2026

Foothill Elementary Presents

Newsies Jr.

Directed by Erin Gavin, Brittnie Brotzman, and Misty Davies

Musical Direction by Margie Alejandro

December 11-13, 2026

Hot off the presses! When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsies' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies the newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what's right. Attention Newsies, it's time to Carry the Banner and Seize the Day in New York City! 

We will open a Newsies Jr Google Classroom for current 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders in May...stay tuned for details!

The annual Foothill Elementary PTA Musical is open to all 3rd-5th graders. Auditions are typically held in late August with the performances in December. We rehearse Tuesdays and Wednesday, 3:00-6:00 and Sundays by cast, either 1:00-2:30 or 2:30-4:00.

Registration will open in August! Please email musical@saratogafoothillpta.org with any questions!
