A MESSAGE FROM THE
JOEY LANDWEHR
artistic director
Dear Friends,
Excitement! Drama! Comedy! Adventure! Our 14th season at J★Company,
San Diego’s awards winning youth theatre, literally has something for everyone.
I am thrilled to open my first J★Company season with one of my favorite
musicals, OLIVER! Long before VCRs, DVRs and TIVO, I remember waiting
with baited breath for the film of this delightful musical to come on TV once
annually. For this young impressionable boy it was one of the highlights of the
year. And now I wait with the same anticipation for the gorgeous overture to
open this exciting season.
We move from the streets of fictional London to the harsh reality of a small,
cramped attic in Amsterdam where our next touching presentation takes
place. Yours, Anne is a challenging, haunting musical piece taken straight from
the emotionally driven true pages of The Diary of Anne Frank, generously
sponsored by Sempra Energy.
To round up our season join us in the wondrous fairy tale land of Disney’s
Beauty and the Beast and the original musical The Story of Hansel and Gretel.
This pair of extravaganzas is sure to please from overture to curtain call and
all stops in between.
In addition to all this we have put together an exciting array of interesting
and original classes taught by a long list of some of the best teaching artists
in Southern California.To learn more about us visit www.lfjcc.org/jcompany.
With extravagant musicals, powerful dramas, exciting classes and some of the
best young artists in California gracing the stage there will always be
something new and surprising awaiting you at The J★Company.We’d love
to keep you company all season long.
So find your way to The “J.”
Artfully yours,
Joey Landwehr, Artistic Director
Oliver!
Music, Lyrics and Book by Lionel Hart

stage by David Merrick and Donald Albery
Directed by Joey Landwehr
Find your way up…
This is Charles Dickens’ touching and exciting tale of a young
orphan boy who runs away from an orphanage and makes his
way on the dark streets of London. He learns that You’ve Got
to Pick a Pocket or Two and much more from his new found
“friends.” All he asks is Where is Love? as he searches for a family
and to find a way up out of the underbelly of London to a better
life.This fantastic score with memorable tunes will send you out
of the theatre with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
Yours, Anne

Libretto by Enid Futterman

Based on “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young
Girl” and the play by Frances Goodrich and
Albert Hackett
December 1–10, 2006
Find your way…
Directed by Joey Landwehr
This renowned chronicle of two Jewish families secreted away
in a cramped attic in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation
is now a haunting and powerful story set to music.While
remaining faithful to its acclaimed source, with all of its suspense
and humanity, the timeless story is enhanced by a most moving
and lyrical score. Propelled by the undying faith of a young girl
on tip-toe before life, Anne Frank’s heartbreaking and ultimately
uplifting diary stirs our deepest emotion in the endurability of
the human spirit to find its way out of impossible situations.

Find your way through…
A prince, a beast, a beautiful girl, an enchanted castle, a handsome
egotistical bully and a crazy inventor father—and that is just act 1.
This extravaganza of a retelling of a classic fairy tale is pure delight
as you watch our heroin, Belle find her way through the gruff
exterior of the magical beast to the true love that is inside both
their hearts.This is most definitely a beautiful Tale as Old as Time.
The Story of Hansel and Gretel
Book by Vera Morris
May 11–20, 2007
Music and Lyrics by Bill Francoeur
Directed by Joey Landwehr
Find your way home…
Sent into the woods, Hansel and Gretel meet up with a number
of familiar and peculiar characters: a fiery troll, an articulate owl,
a forest sprite and two hobgoblins who are in the service of an
evil (but very funny) witch. She locks poor Hansel in a cage and
feeds him nothing but cake to fatten him up for dinner…her
dinner! Everyone will cheer Gretel as she outwits the crone and
sets free all the children who have been captured, and the two
siblings find their way home.This original musical is dramatically
brought to life from the frightening night spent in the woods to
the well-known discovery of the candy cottage.
