"I Can Do That! Performing Arts Center begins 2026 with the high-energy show Newsies, the Musical, Jan. 16-25 at Walnut Creek's Del Valle Theatre on 1963 Tice Valley Blvd. Inspired by the real-life newsboys' strike of 1899, Newsies features music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Jack Feldman and book by Harvey Fierstein. Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, the show follows Jack Kelly and a band of young newspaper sellers who rally together to stand up against powerful publishers and fight for what's right."
"Newsies' is such a powerful story about young people finding their voices and standing together, said Director Jarusha Ariel. Our teen cast (ages 14-18) has poured an incredible amount of energy, passion and teamwork into this show, and I am so proud of the dedication they bring to every rehearsal and performance. For tickets, call 925-217-4582 or go to icandothatpac.org."
