Junie B. Jones

Junie B. Jones follows 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. Featuring tremendously loveable characters and fun-filled songs, Junie B. Jones will capture your audience members' hearts just as the books captivated an entire generation of students.

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.

CYT students ages 8-18 who are currently enrolled in a class in a class at Bayside Adventure are eligible to audition for JUNIE B. JONES or OKLAHOMA!
An online audition form will be emailed to all students enrolled in a CYT class who selected to participate in auditions. The form will require a bio, photo upload, music track upload, and costume measurements in addition to other information.
Some who audition may also be requested to attend a Callback on the second date (see below).

VOCAL & PRELIMINARY DANCE AUDITIONS: Friday, 8/16 LOCATION: Bayside Adventure Church (6401 Stanford Ranch Road)
Students will sign up for a 20 min group audition slot sometime between 4 - 8:30pm. Audition songs should be to music (not accapella). Please choose a track with no accompanying vocals (such as a karaoke track). Audition music should be no more than 1 minute. The director needs to see how well the student can stay with the music, both in tune and in rhythm. You will be able to upload your music to the audition form. It's best if you have a YouTube link or an actual song - we cannot support iTunes, Spotify or Amazon files. Students will learn choreography at home via video and will come ready to perform it for the directors along with the other students in the audition group at the end of their time slot.

CALLBACKS (including Featured Dancers): Saturday, 8/17 (9:00am-3:00pm). The directors will call back certain students to sing, read a scene, dance, or any combination of these. They will often ask pairs or groups of students to read scenes to see how different combinations of kids work together. CYT callbacks are closed to everyone except the show directors. Students may be released prior to 3pm. If a student is not called back, it does not mean that they will not be cast in the show.

NOTES:

Students who audition are NOT eligible for a class tuition refund regardless of casting.
