Welcome to Deb's Web Junior, a web site devoted to theater news for kids, teens and their parents. This is the official spin-off site of the indispensable Long Island Theater resource "Deb's Web" created by Debbie Starker.
THIS WEEK'S NEWS...
“AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS”…
DebsWebJunior would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the readers who are using the links to our sponsors.
We make it a policy to recommend only those merchants who have two important things: great products and good customer service. And we’re glad to share some of these favorite sites with you.
For example, our readers have discovered that they can conveniently download and print sheet music just moments before they leave for an audition. (See the MusicNotes search box on our Cool2Know page).
Proud parents can organize beautiful photo albums of their kid’s shows by visiting Shutterfly (see their link on our Cast Calls page). Have an emergency costume need? Look for the Costume Supercenter logo on our Favorite Things page.
And posting your headshot and theatrical resume on your own personalized web site can be super easy, inexpensive and fun. How do you get started? Scroll down to the Homestead link on the bottom right of this page for a free trial.
When you use these links to reach our sponsors, you are helping to support DebsWebJunior and making it possible for us to expand our content to include more of the information you’d like to see. So thanks again!

Catch new episodes of "The Search For Elle Woods" on MTV Mondays at 10 PM.
You can also view past episodes online and find out more about the finalists at:
Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search For Elle Woods

Click on our Cast Calls page for local audition info, which is updated weekly.
The Now Playing page lists School shows, children's theater, teen shows and mainstage productions that feature kids and teens.
Our Cool 2 Know page lets you know about theater classes, camps and other great theater resources.
We're really excited to launch Deb's Web Junior
and hope to hear from you with your comments and suggestions.

- About The Editor -
My professional life has been mainly dedicated to television production, writing and production management. I have also been a performer in local productions; my love of antiques has led me on a never-ending mission to find great props and set pieces; and perhaps most importantly, I’m the proud mother of a young woman who has appeared in many shows on Long Island.
Through the years, I have often been asked by parents about the different theaters and their various programs…advice about where their children should go for training…and questions like “should I encourage my son to pursue a career in theater, or let him do it just for fun?”
I can’t say I have all the answers, but I am hoping that the resources available to us through Deb’s Web Junior will be a great way for parents and kids to find the information they are looking for.
Check in weekly for updates. Like the “grown-up” Deb’s Web, I’ll be adding all of the new info I receive by Thursday night so that you’ll be ready for the weekend--whether you’re auditioning for a show on a Saturday morning or enjoying a show from the audience on a Saturday night.
Many thanks to Debbie Starker for her support and encouragement and for providing such a great service for so many years to the Long Island theater community.
