Our Junior production is an expanded, one-hour show designed specifically for students in grades 3-9*. This experience features more developed characters, fuller songs, and a deeper theatrical journey, providing a wonderful opportunity for young performers to grow. While the production offers a more immersive experience, it still takes place in the same supportive and creative environment families know and love. It’s a fantastic way for students to stretch their skills, build confidence, and truly shine on stage.
* Note: While the Junior Production is designed for students in grades 3–9, select 2nd graders may be considered based on an individual evaluation. If you believe your 2nd grader may be ready for this experience, please contact Mrs. Owney directly at lightandjoystudios@gmail.com for more information and to discuss eligibility.
Brief Synopsis of Alice in Wonderland Junior:
When young Alice finds herself in a strange world where everything seems upside down, she must find her way home…and find herself along the way. As she travels through Wonderland, she encounters all of the iconic characters that audiences have come to love: including the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter, and the hot-tempered Queen of Hearts.

Why We Offer Cancellation InsuranceThe purpose of Cancellation Insurance is not to add extra fees, but to help prevent last-minute cancellations that impact our planning and take away spots from other families. We understand that unforeseen situations may arise, and this option allows for peace of mind if your plans change. If you do not anticipate needing to cancel your child’s enrollment, there is no need to purchase Cancellation Insurance.
How It Works:For a non-refundable fee of $75 per student, Cancellation Insurance allows you to:
- Transfer your tuition to a future session (subject to availability) OR
- Receive a full tuition refund if you notify us on or before December 21, 2025.
Cancellation Insurance must be purchased at the time of early registration and applies per student, per session. It is not available during late registration, and no refunds will be issued for late registrations.
