‘Junie B. Jones’ auditions scheduled

The Spokane Children’s Theater is holding auditions for “Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business” Aug. 15 and 16 at 7 p.m. in the Lair Auditorium of Spokane Community College, 1810 N. Greene St. The play is part of the theater’s 60th-anniversary season and will open Oct. 8 and play on weekends only through Oct. 21, plus a morning performance on Oct. 18. It was written by Joan Cushing, based upon the popular children’s books by Barbara Parks.

Dawn Taylor-Reinhardt, the play’s director, is looking for six adults – two men and four women over 18 who like to sing.

Potential actors are asked to bring their own sheet music and be dressed to do some movement.
