He earned his stripes to Broadway... now the ghost-with-the-most is making his Bloomington premiere! It's SHOWTIME! Based on Tim Burton's dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that's out of this Netherworld, Beetlejuice is "screamingly good fun" (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it's a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O! Recommended for ages 13+. Parental discretion advised.

Our stories start with you… Watching a play spring to life on stage might make you believe in magic. But before a story can sweep you off into another world, it takes a whole lot of humanity to make it possible. After coaxing an idea into a script, playwrights can rely on the expertise of dramaturgs, directors, and other writers to guide them through the editing process. But nothing compares to presenting a piece to a live audience, where the real-time reactions of a crowd elevate words into something more.
