Coming to Kirksville community theatre this summer – Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Musical! Mark your calendars now for July 11 – 13 to make sure you don’t miss this heartfelt and humorous adaptation of the popular middle grade novels.
Middle school, ugh. It’s the worst. But Greg is determined not to be at the bottom of the popularity chart. He’ll leave that to his weird neighbor, Fregley. Or maybe Greg’s best friend Rowley Jefferson. But it’s not going to be Greg… no way. Jeff Kinney’s popular character takes center stage as Greg’s cartoon diary becomes a hilarious and heartfelt musical. Will Greg’s plans to become popular lead him to sacrifice his one true friend? Can anyone avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch? Grab a hall pass and don’t be late for an adventure familiar to anyone who actually survived middle school. Roles are available for community member adults and teens ages 13+. More audition information can be found here: https://kirksville.gov/p/summer-theatre. Kids 8-12 should plan to attend kids theatre camp June 30 – July 10 where they will learn production numbers to perform in the show with the teen and adult cast.
