OCEAN CITY, NJ — Ocean City families will have a chance to see "Junie B. Jones" on stage when Ocean City Theatre Company presents the show at the Ocean City Music Pier on Tuesday, July 28, at 10:30 a.m. The performance is part of OCTC's 2026 Children's Theatre Series, a summer program the company said has been creating memories for children and families for more than 14 years.
