The Virginia Samford Theatre’s youth company VST STARS (Students Take A Role at the Samford) will summon a spooky good time this Halloween season with Beetlejuice Jr., running October 23–31, 2025 at the historic Virginia Samford Theatre.
Based on Tim Burton’s beloved film and the hit Broadway musical, Beetlejuice Jr. tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a “strange and unusual” teenager whose life is turned upside down when she encounters a mischievous ghost with a flair for chaos. With outrageous humor, catchy songs, and a delightfully ghoulish spirit, this high-energy adaptation offers frightful fun for the whole family.
Performances will take place at 1116 26th Street South, Birmingham, AL. Tickets are $30 for adults and $25 for children, students, and seniors, with discounted group rates available for parties of ten or more. Early reservations are encouraged. Tickets can be purchased at virginiasamfordtheatre.org or by calling the VST box office at (205) 251-1206.
