St. Charles students are proud to present Junie B. Jones The Musical JR., a 60 minute student version and a 15 minute intermission held in the school gymnasium. Tickets are $10 each and there will be concessions available for cash donation and candygrams for purchase. The musical follows the adventures of a precocious girl named Junie B., nervously facing the beginning of first grade. Charismatic and spirited, Junie B. Jones documents her experiences navigating the shifting social landscape of first grade through “top-secret personal beeswax” entries in her diary. Who will she sit next to on the school bus and at the lunch table? How might she distinguish herself in the school kickball tournament? What might be the public’s respond to her new glasses? How should she deal with the avalanche of feeling in her insides and the pile of dreams in her head?

Junie B. Jones The Musical JR. is a heartwarming show which follows a tremendously lovable girl as she learns ‘growing up is scary, but it’s also kinda fun.’ There is a lot of humor in the strong and sassy way in which Junie B. addresses intimidating things like making new friends, finding her role, and taking risks. And ultimately she leaves each of us with an important reminder, ‘never take for granted how special you are’!
