Lester B. Pearson, Brampton
This November, the Brampton Music Theatre Youth Troupe is set to bring the energetic and heartwarming story of Newsies Jr. to life at Lester B. Pearson Theatre in Brampton.

Based on the 1992 Disney film and the hit Broadway musical, Newsies Jr. follows the tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of “newsies” who dream of a better life far from the streets of New York City.

Packed with rousing musical numbers like “Seize the Day” and “King of New York,” Newsies Jr. delivers a message of empowerment, friendship, and standing up for what’s right.
