CYT Tri-Valley's production of Disney's 'Newsies' at Livermore's Bankhead Theater emphasizes family involvement, with real-life brothers Grant and Blake Panfilio playing siblings Davey and Les. The show runs June 12-20.
- The musical is inspired by the Newsboys Strike of 1899 and features songs like 'Seize the Day' and 'King of New York.' - The Panfilio brothers say their offstage bond enhances their onstage chemistry and comedic timing. - Their mother, Laura Panfilio, notes that CYT's family-centered environment unites the family rather than dividing it.
- CYT Tri-Valley is a nonprofit youth theater serving ages 4-18 and is the resident children's theater at the Bankhead. Performances are scheduled at 2400 First St., Livermore.
