Ten San Diego Junior Theatre students are bringing to life the classic 1952 story of “The Borrowers,” February 8-17 at Roosevelt Middle School, 3366 Park Blvd. San Diego, CA 92103. Shows are scheduled for Fridays at 7 p.m. and weekends at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $12 to $15 and are available online at juniortheatre.com or by calling (619) 239-8355.
Written by the late British children’s writer Mary Norton, the story follows a family of tiny people who secretly live beneath the floorboards of an old manor on the English countryside. When they’re discovered by the actual residents of the manor, however, they flee to find a new home.
This San Diego Junior Theatre premiere is being directed by Michael Schwartz, M.F.A., who earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in theatre at the University of California, San Diego.
San Diego Junior Theatre is committed to the region’s youth by encouraging the development of their creativity, self-esteem and enjoyment of theater arts. Positively affecting students of all abilities, ages 3 through 18, the non-profit organization thrives through show ticket sales, class and camp enrollments and the generosity of its alumni and community members. Contributions to San Diego Junior Theatre are tax-deductible.
Adapted for the stage by Charles Way, “The Borrowers” is presented through special arrangement with The deFaria Company and Roosevelt Middle School International Baccalaureate. It is being sponsored in part by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture, the City of San Diego Park and Recreation Department and the County of San Diego.
Eight year old Dee Dee seeks to find the answers to technological freedom; torn between the ways of the old and the ways of the new Dee Dee wishes for the family business, an old rundown bookstore to have more customers, she wishes to see her military mother again and she wishes for all the technology in the world to go away. POOF! BLACKOUT.
Come join Dee Dee and discover how she battles through this journey of self discovery with her loyal and fearless sidekick.
Friday, October 5th 7pm, Saturday October 6th 7pm and Sunday October 7th 2:00 pm.

Not long after that, she moved to San Diego, where she now teaches, directs and still acts. She is proud to add Camp Supervisor at Jr Theatre to her resume.
Local youths from throughout San Diego County are performing in the pilot stage production of “Disney’s Peter Pan Jr.,” presented by San Diego Junior Theatre. The musical celebrates the tale of a boy who never grows up and whisks friends away on an unforgettable adventure. “Disney’s Peter Pan Jr.” runs April 27 through May 13 at Balboa Park’s Casa del Prado Theatre on Fridays at 7 p.m. and weekends at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $8 to $14 and are available online at juniortheatre.com or by calling (619) 239-8355.
“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Disney on this presentation,” says San Diego Junior Theatre artistic director, Desha Crownover. Based on Disney’s 1953 animated feature film version of Sir James Matthew Barrie’s original play, the show includes
“The Second Star to the Right,” “You Can Fly!,” “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me)” “Never Smile at a Crocodile” and other songs from the movie.
Crownover, who is also directing this performance, says “the production showcases the devotion and talent of more than 110 of our students onstage and behind the curtain. The non-cast members prepare costumes, apply make-up, run the stage lights and handle all of the many other fundamental theater responsibilities.”
Founded in 1948, San Diego Junior Theatre is the oldest youth theater in the United States. Positively affecting students of all abilities, ages 4 through 18, it thrives through show ticket sales, class and camp enrollments and the generosity of its alumni and community members. Contributions to San Diego Junior Theatre are tax-deductible.
