HART presents ‘Junie B. Jones Kids!’
The world premiere of “Junie B. Jones Kids!,” a brand-new adaptation of the beloved children’s book series, will hit the stage at 7:30 p.m. May 9, 16 and 2 p.m. May 10-11, 17-18 at Haywood Arts Regional Theatre in Waynesville.
The production is brought to life through a partnership with Musical Theatre International (MTI). As part of MTI’s exclusive pilot program, HART is the first theatre in the country to debut this kid-friendly musical — and local audiences will be the very first to experience it.
Featuring a cast of young performers ages 6 to 12, “Junie B. Jones Kids!” is a quick-paced, heartwarming production that invites audiences into the colorful world of Junie B., a spirited first-grader navigating school, friendships and the little surprises of growing up.
Packed with catchy songs, big laughs and plenty of heart, this 30-minute musical is designed with families in mind — ideal for kids, grandkids or anyone who’s young at heart.
This production marks the HART directorial debut of Annie Dragoo, a recent Western North Carolina transplant and Tony-nominated educator, bringing her nationally recognized talent and passion for youth theatre to the HART stage.
Opening Mother’s Day weekend, moms will receive free concessions at the May 11 performance. Tickets are $15 for adults, $7 for students.
