Our Children’s Theatre season continues with Junie B. Jones Is Not a Crook, presented by Happy State Bank and sponsored by Frank Kent Cadillac. The show runs opens this weekend and runs March 25 – April 9.
Something terrible happened to Junie B. Jones at school today! Someone stole her new furry mittens! When Junie B. finds a wonderful pen of many colors, she should be allowed to keep it, right? Because finders keepers, losers weepers. And guess what? There’s a new boy in kindergarten and he is the handsomest. The only thing is both Grace and Lucille want him to be their boyfriend. Maybe he will love Junie B. when he sees her wonderful pen! It is okay to keep it, right? Junie B. Jones is not a crook … or is she? A hilarious and heartfelt tale based on the best-selling book series by Barbara Park. This show is suitable for all audiences.
