Harry S Truman High School is proud to be the first of four high schools in the world to perform the pilot of Beetlejuice before MTI opens licensing to other schools.
“The cast and crew will have many opportunities to work with new techniques and exhaust their creative solutions to bring this show to life in the Lou Volpe auditorium,” said Theatre Educator Tracey Gatte.
Gatte, along with 50 members of Truman Drama’s cast, crew, and staff, recently took a trip to New York City and saw Beetlejuice on Broadway.

ABOUT BEETLEJUICE
The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in this edgy and irreverent musical comedy based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film. Beetlejuice tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, her new house is 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, and the biggest sandworm Broadway has ever seen.
