Bringing Live Theatre to McHenry County Since 1967

Ticket-Image_703faf

 

A spooky, sidesplitting stage adaptation of the cult-classic film—reimagined for young performers and family audiences. Beetlejuice Jr. tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a gothic teen whose life takes a wild turn when she meets a recently deceased couple and a rowdy bio-exorcist ghost named Beetlejuice. Hoping to reclaim their home, the ghosts enlist Beetlejuice’s help, unleashing a chaotic chain of events filled with supernatural mayhem and laugh-out-loud moments. With eye-popping visuals, ghoulish gags, and energetic musical numbers like “Dead Mom” and “Say My Name,” Beetlejuice Jr. brings spooky charm and irreverent humor to the stage in a show that’s both strange and spectacularly fun.
