It's showtime! The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., a wacky theatrical party filled with unabashed humor and emotional honesty. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager who is obsessed with the whole “being dead” thing. When Lydia moves to a haunted house and summons the delightful demon Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium. In this three-week performance academy for middle and high schoolers, you’ll hone your skills in singing and dancing while taking part in extended rehearsal sessions. Work as a team to create many of the technical elements of the play while you rehearse this hour-long production enhanced by select costume and set pieces.

From the author of She Kills Monsters and Vietgone, get ready for some high-octane fun and epic alien battles in Aliens vs. Cheerleaders. After aliens abduct two unsuspecting teenagers and scan their brains to find their leader, they are led to Principal Forsman of Saint Valley High School. Little do the power-hungry aliens suspect that the school's cheerleading squad is full of brains, brawn and butt-kicking skills. But when the cheerleaders are overpowered, it's up to outsider Molly and her nerdy sidekick Lewis to step in and save the planet. You’ll sharpen your skills in acting, stage combat, improvisation and design, and create set pieces, costumes and props from scratch while rehearsing this production.
