Every season begins with a single spotlight, but it's the stories, the music, and the people who transform a stage into something unforgettable. Join us as we laugh a little louder, dream a little bigger, and discover the magic that only live theatre can create.

Beetlejuice JR.

It's our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. 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.

Manestage Junior

Upcoming

Grease School Edition

In the summer of 1959, greaser Danny Zuko and wholesome Sandy Dumbrowski enjoy a sweet summer romance and part ways believing they will never meet again. When Sandy unexpectedly enrolls at Rydell High and reunites with Danny, their relationship becomes far more complicated. Determined to maintain his tough reputation with the Burger Palace Boys, Danny downplays his feelings for Sandy, while Sandy struggles to find her place among the gum-smacking Pink Ladies. As friendships, rivalries, and teenage dreams collide, the students of Rydell navigate love, identity, and growing up. Bursting with rock ’n’ roll energy and iconic songs like “Greased Lightnin’,” “Summer Nights,” and “We Go Together,” GREASE has remained one of the world’s most popular and enduring musicals and an exuberant celebration of young love, teenage rebellion, and the electrifying spirit of the 1950s.

Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family.
