The Ziegfeld Theater is thrilled to present Disney’s Newsies done entirely in both American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken English.
The sibling duo of Davey and Les are played by deaf actors and siblings Boston and Callie Gunther. Weber State University ASL professor Bret Cummens takes on the roles of Weisel and the Mayor, as well as consulting on the ASL used in the show. He has extensive experience, going back 20 years, in teaching ASL and Deaf Culture. The show is assistant directed and choreographed by Bryan Andrews. Bryan's parents are both deaf and ASL was his first language, so being a CODA (Child of a Deaf Adult) was especially helpful for this project.
SEIZE THE DAY. 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!
