Emerging Artists Company Presents: Beetlejuice Jr
Company | Available
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.
With music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony Award-nominated pair Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best New Musical. A viral "sucks-yes" on social media, this musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty.
Created for the generation that made it a hit, Beetlejuice JR. is a wacky theatrical party for all!
This is a four week musical theatre camp, culminating in performances on July 31 and August 1. There will be one cast.

Before care begins at 7:30am (drop off at NCT - we will walk your student over to Templeton) and after care runs until 5:30pm (pick up from NCT). Extended care consists of unstructured free time where students will play independently. Students are welcome to bring a book or electronic device (that NCT is not responsible for). Individual activities (such as puzzles, coloring pages, and games) will be provided. We will also play a daily G or PG-rated movie.
