This world-renowned children’s book star is coming to life on stage. Magik Theatre proudly presents a never-before-seen production to premiere in the Alamo City –Junie B. Jones: Toothless Wonder from May 6 to June 12, 2022 at Magik Theatre in Hemisfair, 420 S. Alamo. The production will be adapted for the stage by Allison Gregory, based on the hit book series written by Barbara Park and illustrated by Denise Brunkus.
Artistic Associate, Rosa Gardner, stars as Junie B. the toothless wonder that adventures through the first grade. Watch the story unfold as we see Junie B. face the trials of her age group and handle them the best way she knows how – with boundless energy, unbridled imagination, and buckets of enthusiasm. One of Junie B. Jones’s top front teeth is loose! Only Junie B. is not that thrilled about this development because what if she looks like toothless Uncle Lou? And even worse – what’s all this tooth fairy business? Experience the child-like wonder Junie B. undergoes as she maneuvers through yet another big life change. The feisty and fun-loving character will bring laughter and smiles to audiences of all ages.
The production is approximately one-hour and recommended for ages 5 and up. Kids under 2 are free.
