Beetlejuice JR.
Show dates: March 27-30 & April 4-6
Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.
Audition Info
AUDITION DATE:
November 16 (10 AM - 4 PM)
November 17 (12 PM - 2 PM)
Auditions are open to actors aged 7-18 years old (18 yr olds must still be enrolled in high school). You do not have to be a current student at the Wonder Theatre Academy to audition.
We are potentially forming 3 casts (1 Elementary school cast, 2 Middle School/High School Casts). In order to provide the best and safest learning environment for our students, we will need to limit the number of students accepted. Therefore, we may not cast all students who audition.
Director/Choreographer: Alonzo Corona
Music Directors: Gid De La Rosa, Amanda Golden
Stage Manager: Alex Valverde
AUDITION PROCESS:
Students auditioning will be asked to sing and dance. Some may be asked to read from the script.
Vocal Audition
Students must choose a song from Beetlejuice JR. that we will provide. We will play the show tracks without vocals at auditions for students to sing along to. (Click here for music)
There will NOT be a piano accompanist for this audition. Students must sing a song from the tracks we have provided.
If you are auditioning for both shows (9 to 5 and Beetlejuice Jr), please just sing one song with the accompanist.
Dance Audition
Students will be asked to learn a dance combination. Please dress to move. If you have dance shoes please bring them. If not, be prepared to dance in socks (no bare feet and no street shoes in the dance studio).

Tuition
Tuition is $475 ($450 if paid in full).
Upon casting, payment is required if you accept your role and wish to participate. This can be in full (to receive the discount) or as the first installment of your payment plan. Tuition must be paid in full by the 4th rehearsal. Should a family accept, and then choose not to participate after the first rehearsal, a partial refund of 75% is applicable but must be communicated to Academy Administrator BEFORE the 2nd rehearsal. No refunds are applicable after the second rehearsal.
Attendance is crucial. Excessive absences and or missing a tech rehearsal may result in reduced roles, having roles reassigned, or being excused from the production with no refund.
