JUNIE B. JONES

Book and Lyrics by Marcy Heisler
Music by Zina Goldrich
Based on the book series by Barbara Park

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 loveable character and fun-filled songs, Junie B. Jones will capture your  heart just as the books captivated an entire generation of students. - 

1-hour run time.  Recommended for students in grades K - 5 but offers fun for the entire family.  

COLORING PAGE: Kids! Color and bring this to theater when you come!

Stop by A.C. Petersen's before or after: Kids get a free Sugar Cookie Ice Cream Sundae with purchase of kids meal.
