Northbrook Theatre Youth Company is a recreational theatre program that creates quality productions with young actors. They perform age-appropriate musicals, suitable for family viewing. Young children will have the opportunity to grow through the performing arts as they work with professional staff and perform onstage - an exciting and rewarding experience.Gothic outsider teenager Lydia Deetz is adapting to life with a new step-mother and life in a new home, and is delighted to discover her new house is haunted by the kind and gentle, recently deceased couple named Barbara and Adam, as well as Beetlejuice, a zany demon with a real zest for life. Beetlejuice quickly turns the lives of Lydia, Barbara, and Adam upside down when he releases a world of chaos, comedy, and the unexpected! Auditions for Beetlejuice JR. will be held 8/25 and 8/26 from 4:00-8:00 pm. Callbacks (if necessary) will be held on 8/27 from 4:00-7:00pm.

Auditions will be confirmed on a rolling basis beginning on Monday, 8/10. For auditions, actors should bring sheet music with 16-32 bars of a song to sing in-style of Beetlejuice.
