Synopsis
This is the story of Junie Moon and her friends, Arthur and Warren. Each has been tragically handicapped but each has retained the strength and humor they desperately need in their search for a fulfilling life. Meeting in a hospital, they decide to pool their meager resources and face the world together. The play tells of their adventures, sad and happy, comic and tragic. The New York Times called Junie Moon "...most affecting work...funny, sardonic, more often tender."

Customer Reviews
- "Junie Moon offers young actors a challenge in stretching to portray people who are not physically or emotionally attractive. It was a difficult but ultimately rewarding production."
- Review by Karen Strickland, Jasper County High School, Monticello, GA
- "This show is so relevant for the high school student. Thematically it deals with something all teens are looking for -- acceptance. My students thoroughly enjoyed performing this show."
- Review by Brad Watson, Nampa Senior High School, Nampa, ID

- "The play was a huge success! It was the best nonmusical play that we've ever done here. The students loved the script because it challenged them to stretch their dramatic acting skills. There was not a dry eye in the audience every night the show ran."
