Wharton Players: Beetlejuice JR. Auditions

June 30, 2025

Sign up now to audition for Wharton Players!

September 5th from 4-7pm
September 6th from 1-4pm

Materials will be provided to auditioning students in August via email

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.

Please Note: the $25 audition fee will be automatically applied to your tuition upon registration for Wharton Players
