JUNIE B. JONES, THE MUSICAL

Orlando Repertory Theatre, through May 15

It’s Junie B.’s first day in first grade, and a lot of things have changed for her: Her friend Lucille doesn’t want to be her best pal anymore, and on the bus, Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. Also, Junie B. has trouble reading the blackboard, and her teacher Mr. Scary thinks she may need glasses. Throw in a friendly lunch lady, a kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting. OrlandoRep.com

SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN

Garden Theatre, through May 29

Using digital animation as seen in 2015’s Peter Pan, this play 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. GardenTheatre.org

BABY OWL SHOWER

Audubon Center for Birds of Prey, May 7

Spring is here and with it comes baby bird season, when the clinic receives approximately 20 percent of its annual patient load. Most of these young birds have been temporarily displaced from their nests, and the ultimate goal is to get them back into the wild where they belong. Many of these babies will be reunited with their families or placed in foster nests. Others that are orphaned or that cannot be returned to their families will be raised and prepared for life in the wild. Admission is “free” that day when you bring an item from their wish list, which is available on their website. FL.Audubon.org/Baby-Owl-Shower
