San Diego Junior Theatre
Our New Season of Shows 2011-2012
One of the perks of producing quality children’s theatre for 64 years is that you build a reputation
for excellence and innovation. San Diego Junior Theatre is certainly no exception — as we continue to
provide inspired theatrical productions for and by youth. It’s an exciting endeavor to break new ground
and grow, confident in the excellence of tradition that has already been built.
This season, we combine tradition with innovation in each of our productions. We open with the
premiere of How I Became a Pirate,
based on the swashbuckling book. Then we’ll set sail into a sea of
tradition: when the hit musical Annie opened on Broadway in 1977,
JT was already 29 years old, and we’re pleased to bring the feisty red-head back to our stage!
In December, travel with us to an out-of-this-world premiere in Santa Claus vs. the Martians,
a new kitschy holiday favorite based on the cult film.
In January, we’ll debut Rippledink’s Repertory, a cutting-edge experience in children’s theatre:
three shows shown in rep over three weekends! The theme is “Knowledge is Power,” highlighting reading, writing, and rhythm on our stage.
The Complete History of America (abridged),
Harold and the Purple Crayon,
and Schoolhouse Rock, Live!
It’s the only local program that provides a repertory experience for students under 18!
February brings us another literary premiere in The
Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley. We’re excited to announce our partnership with Disney in producing
the pilot production of Disney's Peter Pan
in April, a new musical based on their beloved film. It will be a West Coast and JT premiere!
Rounding out the end of our season is yet another JT premiere, the Olivier Award-winning HONK!
a musical retelling of ‘The Ugly Duckling,’ and Footloose, the fast-paced homage
to both the old and the new.
We invite you to sail, fly, and dance with us, as San Diego Junior Theatre continues to lead the way in
quality children’s theatre!
