SEEKING:
JUNIE B. JONES
Junie B. Jones is a spunky, intelligent girl who is starting the first grade as our show begins. Determined and a bit impulsive, Junie B. finds herself at the center of many classroom antics.
DADDY
Daddy is Junie B.’s encouraging father who always looks on the bright side. Looking for an actor who can comfortably portray an adult figure in a world full of young school kids.
MOTHER
Mother is Junie B.’s no-nonsense mom. She can be tough on Junie B., but it is all out of love.
LUCILLE
Lucille is Junie B.’s former best friend who has moved on to new friendships. Poised, put together, and probably a bit spoiled, Luckille controls and plans everything she does – quite the opposite of Junie B.’s bold impulsiveness.
CAMILLE and CHENILLE
Lucille’s new best friends, Camille and Chenille are twins. Just like Lucille, they are well dressed and very composed. They don’t have to look exactly alike.
GRACE
Grace is another one of Junie B.’s former best friends. She is not as calculated as Lucille, she has simply mad new friends apart from Junie B.
MR. WOO
Mr. Woo is the supervisor on the school bus. This featured role is great for an actor with a commanding speaking voice as he is in charge of corralling the kids on the bus.
BOBBI JEAN PIPER
Bobbi Jean Piper is Grace’s new friend. Bobbi Jean happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and unintentionally ends up on Junie B.’s bad side
HERB
Herb is Junie B.’s new best friend. An endlessly kind and charming little boy, Herb easily balances out Junie B.’s more demanding side.
MAY
May is the teacher’s pet. Eager to prove her brilliance, May does not prioritize making friends with any of her classmates, and they do not mind.
LENNIE and JOSÉ
Lennie and José are classmates and friends of Junie B. and Herb.
MR. SCARY
Mr. Scary is the Room One teacher. unlike his name suggests, Mr. Scary is a supportive and encouraging teacher.
SHELDON
Sheldon is definitely not the most popular kid in class. Plagued by a myriad of allergies and general clumsiness, Sheldon’s good intentions often end in disaster.
SHIRLEY
Shirley is a featured soloist in a few of the School Kid’s songs.
MRS. GUTZMAN
Mrs. Gutzman is the sweet old lunch lady, revered by all of the School Kids.
ENSEMBLE
The Ensemble consists of Tickle the dog, the School Kids, Lunch Student 1, Kids on Bus, Student 1, Student 2, Student 3, Student 4, Student 5, Lunch Server and Cheerleaders.
