Beetlejuice JuniorPerformances: August 1 & 2, 2025
📍 Bicknell Family Center for the Arts Get ready for a spooky good time! Pittsburg Community Theatre’s Rising Starz campers take the stage in the wildly funny and delightfully weird musical comedy Beetlejuice Junior—a youth-friendly adaptation of the Broadway hit based on Tim Burton’s beloved film. Synopsis: When recently deceased couple Barbara and Adam Maitland find themselves haunting their old home, they soon realize they’re no match for the new living tenants: the eccentric Deetz family and their strange, death-obsessed daughter, Lydia. Desperate to reclaim their home, the Maitlands enlist the help of a mischievous, wise-cracking bio-exorcist named Beetlejuice. But things quickly spiral into chaos when Beetlejuice’s antics unleash havoc from the Netherworld. With hauntingly fun songs, hilarious characters, and heartfelt moments, Beetlejuice Junior is a ghostly ride packed with laughs, heart, and just the right amount of creepy charm! Cast Synopsis: This production features talented teen performers (ages 13–18) from our Rising Starz summer theatre intensive. Throughout July, these young artists worked alongside experienced theatre educators and professionals from the Pittsburg State University Theatre Department and Bicknell Family Performing Arts Center, as well as the talented PCT staff/directors that have produced season after season of memorable productions for our community. Students will not only be rehearsing their roles, but some students can also learn the backstage and technical elements of bringing a full production to life. From set building and lighting design to costume coordination and stage management, Rising Starz campers have truly done it all—onstage and off. 🎟️ Don’t miss this ghoulishly great production, where strange and unusual teens take center stage in a show that’s to die for!
