Shreveport Little Theatre Academy invites you to come be a part of an Academy production of the
Junior High Company for Spring 2025 session! Our spring production of 13 the Musical Jr. to be
directed and choreographed by Laura Beeman Nugent with Musical Direction by Nathan Gay.

Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast-paced, preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents' divorce. Now the new kid at school, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he situate himself on a comfortable link of the food chain... or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts?!?

A true coming-of-age musical, 13 JR. is made especially for adolescents with a universal message about friendship and being true to yourself.

Fee: $250 for the spring session. Rehearsals will be held on the dates indicated in the timeline
