Event Description
Everything You Need to Know About First Grade—According to Junie B.!**
Wowee wow wow! Everyone’s favorite world-class chatterbox is back, and she’s on a mission. Not only is Junie B. Jones navigating the "tricky-sticky" halls of first grade, but she’s also writing the book on it—literally!
In this hilarious musical mash-up, follow Junie B. as she deals with a "scary" new teacher, a brand-new pair of purple glasses, and the heartbreak of losing her kindergarten best friends. But don't worry—Junie B. is now a "professional" survivor! Throughout the show, she’ll share her **Top-Secret Personal Beeswax** and her **Essential Survival Guide to School**, teaching us all about:
* **Bus Rules:** (Safety first, especially when you're looking for the best seat!)
* **The Lunchroom:** Navigating the legendary menu of Gladys Gutzman.
* **New Friends:** Discovering that even when things change, "different" can be pretty great.
Featuring high-energy songs, laugh-out-loud mishaps, and a lot of heart, this production is the ultimate guide for kids (and "grown-up" kids) on how to turn a bad day into a "bestest" day ever. Based on the beloved book series by Barbara Park, this show is a heartwarming reminder that school is a grand adventure. Perfect for fans of the books, families, and anyone who has ever survived a playground!
