I can't help but get a smile on my face when I think of Junie B. Jones. I just loved this book series as a little girl and still enjoy it today through the lens of students at school. It won't be long and my daughter will be reading the Junie B. Jones series of books. Now you can see Junie B. Jones on stage at the City Theatre in Detroit on March 23 and 24th.
Junie B.
Jones, a musical based on the books by Barbara Park, will make an
appearance at the City Theatre in The District Detroit for five performances on Saturday, March 23 through
Sunday, March 24.

Outspoken, precocious, lovable
Junie B. 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!).

originally directed by Peter Flynn (TheaterWorksUSA’s Nate the Great, Henry and Mudge, Artistic Director of Hangar
