MENDOTA - Auditions for the Mendota Education Foundation’s production of “NEWSIES” will take place at the Mendota High School Auditorium on Saturday, May 19 from 9 a.m. to noon and Sunday, May 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. Callbacks will be held on Monday, May 21 at 7 p.m.

The lively musical includes roles for adults and teens along with a few limited roles for younger children (age 10 and up). The performances will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 3, 4 and 5 at the MHS Auditorium.

Set in New York City in the late 1800s, the engaging story line of “NEWSIES” provides a family entertainment show suitable for all ages. Originally a movie, the show moved to Broadway in 2012 due to intense popularity. The Broadway production was nominated for eight Tony Awards and won two, Best Original Score and Best Choreography.
