Synopsis: Laugh yourself silly with Junie B. Jones in this hilarious Broadway Junior adaptation of Barbara Park’s beloved series.

While in Mr. Scary’s class, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard — and she may need glasses. Add in a friendly cafeteria lady, an intense kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting.
Featuring many lovable characters and fun-filled songs, Junie B. Jones JR. will capture your hearts — just as the books captivated an entire generation of students.

GIVEAWAY:
My goal is to do a monthly giveaway… That’s right, I want you all to have a chance to win free things…
CURRENT GIVEAWAY SPONSOR: WHY NOT YOUR ORGANIZATION?
WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT TICKET GIVEAWAY… If you are a part of an upcoming theater production or theatre/arts event and would like to donate 2 tickets, please give me a call at 256-520-9640 or email me the details at ninasodenbooks@gmail.com.
ABOUT ME:
Some of you already know me, others may not. I’ve been in the Huntsville theater scene off and on for about 20 years now. I’ve acted, directed, and produced productions with several different theater companies, and theater is a passion of mine. I am so excited to be able to support all of the local theater companies and organizations by helping to market their productions. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can email me at ninasodenbooks@gmail.com or call me at 256-520-9640. I plan to get this email out weekly, as long as there are submissions to send.
Aside from being a part of the theater community, I am a local Realtor who works with home buyers, sellers, and investors. I have a passion for real estate and an enthusiasm for helping others find their dream home. I enjoy connecting with my clients and strive to provide high-quality communication and personalized customer service. As a Realtor, my priority is to provide a 5-star experience and make my clients comfortable and happy. I recognize and value the level of trust my clients place in me. That is why I have a team of professionals working with me. Together, we work hard to exceed our clients’ expectations. We listen to our clients’ wants and needs to achieve the best outcome in every transaction, and we make every effort to ensure that the home buying or selling process is fun, easy, and stress-free. Our clients can count on us any time of day when they have a question or concern.
Why do I bring that up? Because, as part of my community-focused initiative for 2025 I am offering to donate a portion of my real estate profits to be given back to local theater organizations to help with production costs, set design, costumes, or anything else that is needed. So, if you have a real estate need and are part of the theater community or enjoy theater as an audience member, give me a call at 256-520-9640. If you decide to work with me for your home purchase or sale, and you let me know you heard about me through THEATRE HAPPENINGS, I will donate a portion of my real estate profits from your transaction to the theater organization of your choice.
