The Paul Revere Charter Middle School Personal Enrichment Program theater group and Illumevate will present two nights of one-act performances on Friday, November 1, and Saturday, November 2.
“Led by Directors Lara Ganz and Aaron Jung, the casts include a total of more than 40 youth actors in sixth through eighth grade,” read a statement about the shows.
The two shows featured are “Junie B. Jones Is Not a Crook” by Allison Gregory and “The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde.
“Written by Oscar Wilde, ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ tells the story of two men in 19th century England who both adopt the fictional identity of ‘Ernest’ to escape their social obligations,” according to a synopsis provided by PEP. “Hilarity ensues as the two characters, Jack and Algernon, each face the consequence delivered by their alter, alter egos.”
“Junie B. Jones” is based on a “beloved series” written by Barbara Park.
“‘Junie B. Jones Is Not a Crook’ will have you laughing out loud as Junie B. leans a little too hard into the unofficial rule of finders keepers, losers weepers,” the synopsis continued. “Come find out what was lost and found.”
The performances will take place in the school’s auditorium, located at 1450 Allenford Avenue. The November 1 performance begins at 6:30 p.m. and November 2 at 4 p.m.
Tickets are available starting at $10 for students and seniors, $15 for general admission, and VIP—which is the first two center rows within the auditorium—for $20.
