"A THEATRE EXPERIENCE THAT LASTS A LIFETIME"
Join us for another Young Actors' Theatre premiere AND a San Diego Youth Theatre premiere:
Beetlejuice, jr.
Auditions are open to anyone in grades 2nd-9th only
+Beetlejuice, Jr., has a rating of PG+
It's our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice Jr., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.
