The Talent Company is in the second and final weekend of Junie B. Jones Jr., a youth-friendly musical adapted from Barbara Park’s bestselling books. The story follows Junie B. through her first-grade year. The Arts Council lists a running time of about 60 minutes and recommends it for ages 5 and up, which makes it a good first theater outing for younger kids.
