Six public performances. All experience levels!

Be a part of a fun musical theatre production from start to finish in The Reynolds Auditorium at The Judith Enyeart Reynolds School of the Performing Arts for Springfield Little Theatre! All experience levels welcome.

This SLT Summer experience concludes with 6 public performances of JUNIE B.'s ESSENTIAL SURVIVAL GUIDE TO SCHOOL, JR., a fun, family-friendly musical based on the popular Junie B. Jones books.

The story follows first-grader Junie B. Jones, who decides she’s the perfect person to write the ultimate guide to surviving school. As she gathers advice about everything from backpacks and classroom rules to friendships and playground drama, Junie B. struggles with writer’s block and keeps getting into trouble along the way. With help from her classmates and teacher, she learns that making mistakes is part of growing up—and that school (and life) always has more lessons to teach.

The show features upbeat songs, lots of humor, and heartwarming messages about friendship, responsibility, and learning from your mistakes
