NEXT WEEK: San Diego Junior Theatre presents A Bad Case of Stripes: The Musical! In this fun musical adaptation of David Shannon's beloved book, Camilla thinks she must choose between her favorite food - lima beans - and the acceptance of those around her. But the harder she tries to conform to other people’s opinions, the more miserable (and colorful) she becomes. With infectious energy and a heartfelt message, A Bad Case of Stripes reminds audiences of all ages that embracing your true colors is the key to self-discovery and acceptance.
