The “Greatest Movie Musical of All Time”

Singin’ in the Rain JR. has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline – the starlet, the leading man and a love affair that could change lives and make or break careers! In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item, but behind the scenes, things aren’t always as they appear on the big screen! Meanwhile, Lina’s squeaky voice might be the end of her career in “talking pictures” without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her.

Roald Dahl’s timeless story of the world-famous candy man and his quest to find an heir is a golden ticket to adventure.

The delicious adventures experienced by Charlie Bucket on his visit to Willy Wonka’s mysterious chocolate factory light up the stage in this captivating adaptation of Roald Dahl’s fantastical tale. Featuring the enchanting songs from the 1971 film starring Gene Wilder in addition to a host of fun new songs, Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka JR. is a scrumdidilyumptious musical guaranteed to delight everyone’s sweet tooth.

We were so lucky to see so many wonderfully talented artists come out to our auditions this year. If only we could take everyone! Our company is now solidified and we are finishing our show selections. It should be a very exciting year full of sweet moments and classic musical theatre. Stay tuned to see what we are doing next.

Our auditions for the 2016/2017 company start on Friday, June 17th at the St. Andrews River Heights United Church basement. We are looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new JMTC hopefuls. Break legs everyone!!!

JMTC’s presentation of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Junior is opening today at 4pm. The tech dress yesterday was full of some incredible moments, we are thrilled to run the show for the first time in front of an audience this afternoon. If you do not have your tickets, please contact Katie as there are still a couple left.

Beauty and the Beast is definitely taking shape. We officially finished the choreography and blocking for the entire show. Now we just have to run it and clean it to make it show ready. Do you have your tickets yet?

Tickets have officially gone on sale for Beauty and the Beast. I have already had a lot of calls and email about reserving, it is going to be a popular show. I mean who doesn’t want to see talking clocks, huge dance numbers with forks and spoons and some of the coolest napkins ever!

We are getting so close to completing our blocking and choreography. A couple more rehearsals should do it and then on to costumes and cleaning. Tickets will be going on sale after Spring Break, get yours soon or you may be disappointed.
