The colorful and whimsical childrens books Junie B. Jones will be brought to life on the Camden Opera House stage March 13th at 3 PM by the renowned equity actor theatre group, Theatreworks USA. The show is a musical based on the books by Barbara Park that features outspoken, precocious, lovable Junie B. Jones in a funny and fast-paced musical about new friends, new glasses, 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 musical is based on four volumes in Barbara Parks 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). The show was nominated in 2006 for the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical and Choreography. The musical was written by Broadway writers Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich. The production is directed by Peter Flynn and choreographed by off-broadway choreographer Devanand Janki. 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 Theatreworks USAs most popular productions, touring nationally each year. Theatreworks USA has a distinguished history of providing young audiences with their first taste of the performing arts, and also giving young actors, writers, directors and designers an early opportunity to work in this field.
