 We would like to thank everyone who came out to audition for the cast of Trolls The Musical JR. We know that it can be very challenging to step onstage and perform in front of people to be judged, but you all did very well. We had a lot of talented young people show up and that made this a difficult decision for the creative team. Unfortunately, there are always more people auditioning than there are roles in the show. If you were not cast in this production, please don’t be discouraged. We were looking for specific things in these auditions. We encourage you to keep learning, practicing, and performing whenever and wherever possible, and we hope to see you at a future audition with us. Thank you again for coming out to audition. If you were cast in this production, we look forward to working with you. Whether you were selected to be a named role or a member of an ensemble, every cast member is vital to putting on an excellent production – and this one is going to be a lot of fun! We can't wait to get started! There is a mandatory parent/cast meeting on Thursday, August 27th at 6 PM at the City of Greer Center for the Arts (804 Trade Street). Production manager Megan Webb will be emailing you forms for the meeting. Thank you, Trolls the Musical Jr. Creative Team King Gristle -Eden Powell

You each brought something unique to the stage, which made our decision that much harder. Many factors go into casting a show, so if you weren’t cast in this production, don’t be discouraged. Keep dancing, keep singing, keep auditioning, and keep shining! To those who have been cast, welcome to class! We’re excited to bring this energetic and silly story to life. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to put a musical together, but we’re going to have a lot of fun along the way! We can’t wait to get started. Thanks again to everyone who came out! We appreciate your support. -from the Junie B. Jones Production Team CAST LISTJunie B. Jones - Astrid Jimenez Garcia
