Junie B. Jones Takes The Stage At Orlando REP In A New Show

Orlando Repertory Theatre (Orlando REP) is proud to present Junie B. Jones Is Not A Crook (September 24 - November 4, 2018). This production is presented by Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs. Orlando REP's 2018 - 2019 season is sponsored by Florida Hospital for Children.

She's back! Junie B. Jones returns to Orlando REP once again in an all-new show. Something awful has happened at school - someone has stolen Junie B.'s new furry black mittens! But when Junie B. finds a fantastically awesome pen, it's okay to keep it, right? Finders keepers! Besides, there's a new handsomest boy in class who she is determined to impress... and she has competition! She found the pen, so Junie B. Jones is not a crook, right? Right?! Junie B. Jones struggles with honesty in this hilarious and heartfelt story based on the best-selling book series by Barbara Park.

"Orlando REP audiences love Junie B. Jones," says Jeff Revels, Orlando REP's Artistic Director. "The character returns in a new story - there have now been four different Junie B. stories that we started presenting at Orlando REP in 2008. We are so excited to showcase the next incarnation of Junie B. Jones, bringing audiences' favorite heroine back to the stage!"
