JUNIE B. JONES: THE MUSICAL Comes To Playhouse On The Square  Image

Based on the popular children's book by Barbara Park, this stage adaptation follows the energetic and outspoken first grader, Junie B. Jones, as she embarks on her adventures and misadventures of classroom dynamics. She humorously tries to figure out the ups and downs of first grade while dealing with her sometimes over-the-top personality. This musical features memorable music, funny kid situations, and a lively portrayal of a kid's perspective while exhibiting themes of friendship, self discovery, and growing up. 

Playhouse on the Square's Resident Company Member, Marc Gill, joins us at The Circuit Playhouse as Director of this childhood tale along with Charles Hunter as Choreographer and JD Willis as Music Director. Junie B. Jones: The Musical stars Amaya Hardin as Junie B. Jones.
