Kid Actors Needed for "Beetlejuice Jr."

Whip-smart, grieving fifteen- year-old whose dark sense of humor helps her cope with the loss of her mother, Emily. Lydia is unfazed by Beetlejuice’s antics and easily holds her own against both him and all things Netherworld.

Lydia’s father. He wants to help her get over the loss of her mother, although the ways he tries to “help” aren’t really what Lydia needs. Charles is under a lot of pressure between his concerns over Lydia, his secret relationship with Delia, his professional life, and his own grief (which he tries to ignore).

The dead guy of the hour! This titular character is zany, spooky, and absolutely hilarious. Though Beetlejuice exists in a morally gray area, he’s more of a trickster than a malevolent threat. He’s happy to align his interests with others, but ultimately, he’s looking out for himself.

Devoted husband of Barbara, just can’t catch a break. While life’s stresses were getting to him – renovation of the house, financial difficulties, and the decision about having a child – he certainly wasn’t ready for death.

Hopelessly (sometimes maniacally) optimistic. She believes fully in her guru, Otho, and considers herself a life coach, though underneath her façade she’s quite fragile and desperately wants to fit in with the Deetzes. Delia loves Charles and genuinely cares about Lydia’s well-being, even if her attempts to connect are somewhat misguided.

The business tycoon whom Charles hopes to impress.

Maxie’s wife.

A girl scout that is bright eyed and optimistic about the world. She comes to sell cookies to the Deetz family but is shockingly surprised and terrified by her encounter. An encounter that will leave her scared and tormented for the rest of her days.

She is the never world receptionist and nothing gets past her watchful eye (except everything). She is bubbly and energetic with a tragic tale to tell. An older teenage female. She will need to be able to sing with power and the ability to belt while dancing.

Beetlejuice's estranged mom who has a raspy voice similar to Rozz from Monsters inc.

Delia's guru and occasional exorsist.

The priest is a featured ensemble role. This role needs to be able to clearly enunciate and project.
