Published Reviews

"Gregory does a good job of providing plenty of humor in the piece, both for children and adults, as well as ensuring that Junie learns from her experiences. The included issues of right and wrong . . . are simple yet incredibly effective lessons for younger children to learn."

Talkin' Broadway

"A lesson on ethics and empathy told with heart and humor."

AZCentral.com

"Although a children's production, Junie B. Jones is by no means shallow. Junie B. and her friends face various dilemmas and moral lessons, including forgoing selfish desires and the power of friendship. The show provides children with great principles."
