Lawmakers: Nip bottle surcharge doesn’t help with clean-up By Kate Ramunni Record-Journal staff
‘Newsies’ coming to NHHS stage Press Release
North Haven High School’s production of “Newsies” will be performed March 2 to 5 at the NHHS Theater, 221 Elm St. Set in turn-ofthe century New York City, “Newsies” is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged “newsies.” When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right. The talented North Haven High School cast is led by director Jackie Giordano and musical director Sarah Iadarola, both North Haven teachers; and choreographer Jared Andrew Brown, of Square Foot Theatre in Wallingford.
