Responding to popular demand, the Michigan Theater has added a second show for the family musical Junie B. Jones on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 11 am. Tickets go on sale Friday, Jan. 25 at 10 am. Some tickets remain for the 1:30 pm show but they are going fast, so the second show provides an opportunity to obtain better seats.

The live musical performance, based on the books by Barbara Park, tells of the big changes in store for Junie B. Jones as she enters first grade. Getting used to the whole new group of friends, a new teacher, and new glasses is challenging, even for irrepressible Junie B. The performance follows her adventures as she writes everything down in her "top-secret personal beeswax" journal.

Junie B. Jones sold out three performances in December of 2006.

Reserved seats are $14 ($12 for Theater members) and will be available online at Ticketmaster.com and at all Ticketmaster outlets including Macy's and the Michigan Union Ticket Office. To charge by phone, call 248-645-6666. For group sales, please call 734-668-8397, ext. 29.

Junie B. Jones is part of the Michigan Theater's popular Not Just for Kids series. The 2007-2008 NJFK series is presented by Pfizer Global Research and Development with support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, Comerica, the Benard L. Maas Foundation, the Ann Arbor News and 107one FM.
