San Diego Junior Theatre

The San Diego Junior Theatre started as a community program for residents of San Diego, California. It was part of San Diego's Old Globe Theater. However, they are now an independent company working with a nonprofit organization to provide children and teenagers with a performance stage to learn acting and be a part of a group. The junior theatre started in 1948. Today it offers classes at Balboa Park in the Casa del Prado. Children can gain theater education, as well as star in productions no matter their heritage, age or level of interest.

For the 2010 season they have performed Lyle the Crocodile, Oliver, A Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Pippi Longstocking, Geppetto and Son, and Fame. Each season there are different products. In years past Blue's Clues, Cats, Tom Sawyer, Little Women, Wizard of Oz, Mulan, Les Miserables, Jungle Book, Velveteen Rabbit, Bridget to Terabithia, and How to Eat Fried Worms were performed on stage. Ticket prices usually range from $11 to $14 based on seating and what performance is on. Tickets can be picked up at the La Jolla YMCA Firehouse. The box office can be called for tickets or internet reservations can be made.
