Newsies as epic quotes from my stage school

Chapter 2: The time we wrote our own plays (my group’s was The Grind)

Notes:

The Grind was basically a Murder Mystery (the cleaning lady, Síofra, did it) set in a coffee shop with the eccentric cast of Steve the Manager, Tyler the Annoying Barista, Síofra the murderous Cleaning Lady, my character Infinity Jones the Theif and Enid the Entitled Customer who Got Murdered.

The quote from it that came back a few times in later terms was “Stop harassing my barista!” Said by Steve to Enid who was being mean to Tyler.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

I think this ☝️is the link to the polar express song. And no, none of us knew the words on show day.
