Pacelli Theatre Company
The Pacelli Theatre Company presented Junie B. Jones, The Musical in March 2022. The delightful adaptation of Barbara Park's best-selling books was brought to life in a genuinely comical musical performed by St. Anne-Pacelli middle and high school students. The show highlighted the timeless themes of friendship, acceptance, and humility. See more pictures of the production, taken by Matthew Barkley, in this online gallery.
