About The Show:
Created by Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich, the team that brought you Dear Edwina, comes Junie B. Jones, The Musical – a delightful adaptation of four of Barbara Park’s best-selling books, brought to life in a genuinely comical (and not strictly-for-kids) musical developed by TheatreworksUSA. Awaken a young person’s desire to read with the sassy little diva, Junie B. Jones, and her adventures in first grade.
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.

About The Show:
Casper the friendly you-know-what has nothing on this non-conformist witch, who’d rather be chic than “shock”! Annabelle Broom, The Unhappy Witch is an enchanting children’s musical about a young witch whose love of fashion keeps her in hot water with her elders.
Bucking tradition is always tough but, when you’re a witch and it’s the scaring season, things get even more complicated. Annabelle Broom finds herself in this exact pickle when her heartstrings are tugged by two lost kids in need of a grownup’s assistance. But, as she’s already at odds with her pointy-hatted superiors, Annabelle could lose her haunting card if she doesn’t frighten the youngsters. Placing its protagonist at a crossroads, Eleanor and Ray Harder’s children’s musical explores what happens when doing your job means ignoring your conscience.
