🪲 Auditions for Beetlejuice JR! 🎭
The Paramount Players are thrilled to announce auditions for our upcoming youth production of Beetlejuice JR! We're looking for an energetic, spirited cast of young performers ready to bring this delightfully strange, hilariously spooky, and surprisingly heartwarming musical to life.
Best of all, participation is completely free, making this a fantastic summer activity for kids and teens who want to build confidence, make new friends, and experience the excitement of live theater. This is your chance to be part of a fun, creative, and unforgettable production!
