Valley Youth Theatre seeks 2 Teen Boys for roles in JUNIE B JONES, THE MUSICAL




IMMEDIATELY CASTING!

Valley Youth Theatre’s production of:

JUNIE B. JONES – THE MUSICAL

Book & Lyrics by Marcy Heisler, Music by Zina Goldrich, adapted from the Junie B. Jones series of books by Barbara Park

Synopsis:

Sneak a peek into the "Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal" of the outspoken and lovable Junie B. Jones! It's Junie B.'s first day of first grade, and a lot of things have changed for her: Junie's friend, Lucille, doesn't want to be her best pal anymore and, on the bus, Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. Also, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard and her teacher, Mr. Scary, thinks she may need glasses. Throw in a friendly cafeteria lady, a kickball tournament and a "Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal," and first grade has never been more exciting.


Currently still seeking two actors for the following roles:
 
Mr. Scary: Junie B.'s first grade teacher, a warm man, despite his name.

Daddy: Junie B.'s dad. Kind and encouraging.
