Description:

Shhh! It’s top secret! Junie B. is brought to life this summer in Junie B. Jones The Musical JR. – a delightful and hilarious adaptation of four of Barbara Park's best-selling books. It's Junie B.'s first day of first grade, and a lot of things have changed for her: Junie's friend, Lucille, doesn't want to be her best pal anymore and, on the bus, Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. Also, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard and her teacher, Mr. Scary, thinks she may need glasses. Throw in a friendly cafeteria lady, a kickball tournament and a "Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal," and first grade has never been more exciting!

Featuring a tremendously lovable character and fun-filled songs, Junie B. Jones the Musical JR. will capture the hearts of audiences just as the books captivated an entire generation of students.

Characters:

Junie B. Jones

A spunky, intelligent girl who is starting the first grade as our show begins. Determined and a bit impulsive, Junie B. finds herself at the center of many classroom antics. Charming and precocious; a strong singer with excellent comedic timing.

Daddy

Junie B.’s encouraging father who always looks on the bright side.

Mother

Junie B.’s no-nonsense mom. She can be tough on Junie B., but it is all out of love.

Lucille

Junie B.’s former best friend who has moved on to new friendships. Poised, put together, and probably a bit spoiled, Lucille controls and plans everything she does – quite the opposite of Junie B.’s bold impulsiveness.

Camille and Chenille

Lucille’s new best friends, Camille and Chenille are twins. Just like Lucille, they are well dressed and very composed.

Grace

Another one of Junie B.’s former best friends. She is not as calculated as Lucille, she has simply made new friends apart from Junie B.

Mr. Woo

The supervisor on the school bus. Corrals the kids on the bus.

Bobbi Jean Piper

Grace’s new friend. Bobbi Jean happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and unintentionally ends up on Junie B.’s bad side.

Herb

Junie B.’s new best friend. An endlessly kind and charming little boy, Herb easily balances out Junie B.’s more demanding side.

May

The teacher’s pet. Eager to prove her brilliance, May does not prioritize making friends with any of her classmates, and they do not mind.

Lennie and Jose

Two classmates and friends of Junie B. and Herb.

Mr. Scary

The Room One teacher. Unlike his name suggests, Mr. Scary is a supportive and encouraging teacher.

Sheldon

Definitely not the most popular kid in class. Plagued by a myriad of allergies and a general clumsiness, Sheldon’s good intentions often end in disaster.

Shirley

One of Junie B.'s classmates, who has a few featured solos.

Mrs. Gutzman

The sweet old lunch lady, revered by all of the School Kids. Has a warm, grandmotherly nature.
