Thank you to everyone who applied for the Christian Rowley Memorial Scholarship. Join us on opening night of Newsies JR. on April 20 at 7:00 pm, when we will introduce our four new scholars and announce our 71st Season!
UPDATE: Our advocacy efforts to stop deep budget cuts for arts and culture at the City have been heard! Thanks to everyone’s united voice, Mayor Kevin Faulconer has proposed an FY19 budget for arts and culture with only a 2% cut to the existing $14.6 million budget. This is a “fair share cut” in line with other city departments – far below the possible 30%+ cut – and one that San Diego Junior Theatre plans to support going forward through budget hearings. Thanks to everyone who made their voice heard via a postcard, email, post or hashtag!
The Auditions for Newsies JR. will be held on Friday, February 9th from 4:00-6:00pm and Saturday, February 10th from 10:00am-12:00pm in Room 102 of the Casa del Prado Classroom Building. Please call the Education Office to set up an appointment time. 619-239-1311
*Just a reminder that you must be enrolled in a Spring Class or Camp in order to Audition.
San Diego Junior Theatre is committed to increasing access and inclusion for our community’s children and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other sensory, social, and cognitive disabilities.
This season, San Diego Junior Theatre will offer a sensory-friendly performance of the Magic Tree House: Pirates Past Noon KIDS on January 13!
In a sensory-friendly performance, adjustments are made to the production to reduce any jarring sounds or lighting. The houselights remain on and the lobby doors remain open. By softening the sensory journey, we create a safe atmosphere where young people with ASD are free to experience the show in their own unique way.
Audience members are permitted to talk openly, move throughout the house, or take a break in our quiet room. Volunteers from the Autism Society are on-site for extra support and to distribute “fidgets” to any child who becomes anxious during the performance.
Tickets for this performance are not available online. Please call the box office at 619-239-8355 to reserve your tickets. Please make every effort to reserve early.
