It's time to carry the banner on our stage 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 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!

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.

Come and experience the wonders of the Medway High School Theatre Program!

The Medway High School Theatre Program has been a staple of Medway's community, putting on spectacular shows for multiple years. Each year, a Fall play and Spring musical are put together with the help of Ms. Tetreault, the director, the incredible cast and crew of Medway High School students, and a few other special guests. Typically, the Fall play is held in November and the Spring musical is held in March.

In addition to participating in the Medway High School theatre program, Medway has its own International Thespian Society (ITS) chapter. The International Thespian Society recognizes the achievements and encourages the work of students in theatre, in both performance and production. To get inducted into ITS, you need a minimum of 12 points. Points are gained through performing with our cast or helping with our crew. Officers for our chapter are elected in the Spring and help lead ITS. The current officers are Christina Harrahy (president), Jules Antonino (vice president), Michelle Pishchik (secretary), Riley Ashok (treasurer), and Kaitlyn D'Souza (clerk/scribe). Officers and members of ITS are a critical part of the theatre program at Medway, helping to fundraise and raise awareness when shows are occurring within the community of Medway.

In past years, the theatre program has done Footloose, The Canterbury Tales Or… Geoffrey Chaucer's Flying Circus, Peter Pan, Clue the High School Edition, The Wizard of Oz and most recently Alice in Wonderland. It is our hope to continue growing and expanding our theatre program to the school community and the town of Medway to help bring joy to those that love theatre as much as we do!
