Jones stars in a colorful, funny, fast-paced musical about new friends, new glasses, sugar cookies, the annual kickball tournament, and other various first-grade angst-ridden situations. Follow her adventures as she writes down the story of her life in her “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal.” This new musical is based on four volumes in Barbara Park’s *Junie B. Jones* series of books, illustrated by Denise Brunkus and published by Random House: *Junie B, First Grader (at Last!)*; *Junie B, Boss of Lunch; Junie B, One-Man Band*; and *Top-Secret Personal Beeswax: A Journal by Junie B (and Me!)*. *Junie B. Jones* is a musical by Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich (The Broadway-bound musical based on the film *Ever After, Dear Edwina*, *Taylor the Latte Boy*) based on the best-selling books by Barbara Park. The production was originally directed by Peter Flynn (TheaterWorksUSA’s *Nate the Great, Henry and Mudge*, Artistic Director of Hangar Theatre) and choreographed by Devanand Janki (Off-Broadway: *Zanna Don’t, Cupid & Psyche*). The scenic design is by Luke Hegel-Cantarella (TheaterWorksUSA’s *Corduroy*), and the costumes are by Lora LaVon. This 60-minute musical is recommended for audiences age 5 and up. The show was nominated in 2006 for the Lucille Lortel Awards for Outstanding Musical and Outstanding Choreography. After a brief New York City-area tour in spring 2004, *Junie B. Jones* premiered Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in July 2004, and is now one of TheaterWorksUSA’s most popular productions. *Junie B. Jones* began its national tour in fall 2004, and a second national touring company began touring in spring 2005. The show returned for engagements at the Lortel Theatre in November 2005 and March 2008. *Junie B. Jones* is able, as are all TheaterWorksUSA productions, to play a wide range of venues, from large Broadway-sized performing arts centers in major metropolitan areas to elementary school cafeterias in small towns. *Performance Schedule: * Saturday, March 23 11 a.m., 2 p.m. & 5 p.m. Sunday, March 24 11 a.m. & 2 p.m. [![More Info for Junie B.
