Stranger Things alum and Orlando-raised Chelsea Talmadge will be starring in a local production of Junie B. Jones in BOO… and I Mean It! at Orlando Family Stage this month.
Known for her role as Carol Perkins in the Netflix phenomenon Stranger Things, Talmadge is bringing her talent back to Orlando Family Stage, where she first honed her acting skills as a young performer.
“Orlando Family Stage is a very special place, especially to me,” shares Talmadge. “It was the skills and confidence that I gained here that helped me land work in the entertainment industry. If you trade this wig to an 80s hairstyle, some of you might recognize me as Carol from the first few seasons of Stranger Things and other shows like Halt and Catch Fire and Still The King. I will always return to the stage, and I’m thrilled to be playing one of my favorite characters from children’s literature at one of my favorite places.”
Junie B. Jones in BOO… and I Mean It! runs from October 5 through October 27. Tickets start at $20. Public performances are available on select dates, with morning, matinee, and early evening showtimes. Tickets are available online at OrlandoFamilyStage.com or by calling the box office at 407 896-7365.
