Newsies Jr.

February 16-17, 2024

Preas Theatre

When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies 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.

~ Music Theatre International

Did you know that the Austin school district gives sports and band programs between $120 to $150 per student versus $40 per student to the theater program?  

We depend on the generosity of our parents and community to help the AHS theater department thrive. 

Your contribution will help us put on professional-level productions, send our students to theatre state competitions and workshops, and help with improvements to the theater.  

Please sponsor our 2021-22 season with a generous donation. Many options are available.  Thank you!
