Beetlejuice Jr. - May 14 - May 17, 2026

Oakland Middle School

 Audience Advisory 

Beetlejuice Jr. tells a heartfelt story about grief, family, and learning how to navigate life’s biggest emotions. Through humor and the supernatural, the show explores what it means to feel seen, to ask for help, and to find connection even in the most unusual circumstances.

 

The production includes playful references to ghosts, the afterlife, and the quirky dark comedy that makes this story unique. There are also brief moments of dialogue that reference self-harm in a non-graphic, comedic context as part of the junior adaptation. These references are handled thoughtfully and are not portrayed in a serious or explicit manner. However, families may wish to consider these themes when deciding what is appropriate for younger audience members.

 

At its core, Beetlejuice Jr. reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles, that our feelings are valid, and that choosing connection over isolation can bring healing and hope.

 

Parental discretion is suggested for young children.
