The talented young cast of North Shore residents led by Director Heidi Dallin and her YMCA Theatre Team have been working to bring this frightfully funny and magical modern musical to the stage on Evans Field over the past 3 weeks. In addition to Director Heidi Dallin the YMCA The Production Team includes Music Director Anthony Prestigiovanni, Music Teacher at Gloucester’s West Parish Elementary School; Choreographer Seania McCarthy, Rockport Middle School Choreographer; and Stage Manager Julia Drost, Rockport native and Tufts University Senior.
Based on the blockbuster motion picture turned Broadway musical, Beetlejuice JR. tells the story of a strange and unusual teenager named Lydia Deetz, who is grieving the loss of her mother. Lydia 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.
With music and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by the Tony Award–nominated pair Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards, including Best New Musical.
“My team and I were so excited to produce Beetlejuice Jr. and make our YMCA theatre debut in Rockport on Evans Field this summer,” says Gloucester native and Harvard University graduate Heidi Dallin, the show’s director, “I am not sure if many theatre performances have been held on Evans Filed, but we love performing here!”
“Beetlejuice Jr.,” continues Dallin, ”focuses on family relationships, humor and imaginative magical reality. The movie song hits Day-O(The Banana Boat Song) and Jump in the Line are in the show, but the new original songs are contemporary masterpieces and really give out young actors a chance to shine especially Aubrey Hamm as Lydia and Molly Doherty as Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice JR. is sure to leave audience members laughing and singing those catchy tunes for hours after they leave the theater.”
“Beetlejuice has a large and fervent fan base among people of all ages,” said Drew Cohen, Music Theatre International’s President and CEO. “The response to Beetlejuice JR. from audiences around the country is nothing short of astounding. Bravo to Director Heidi Dallin and her Cape Ann YMCA Theatre Team for bringing this musical so vividly to life…figuratively speaking, of course.” Music Theatre International (MTI) is one of the world’s leading theatrical licensing agencies, granting theatres from around the world the rights to perform the greatest selection of musicals from Broadway and beyond.

I’ve heard some great things about this baseball camp, I know John Parisi is fantastic, and I’m thrilled Thatch and Finn will be attending.
What a great way to kick off summer! Check it out and consider signing up your 7-12 year-old. The organizers are making final preparations now.
Well, no invitation actually needed. Just need a sled.
We get this big dump of snow and John Penaloza has a harebrained idea it would be fun to flip the lights on at Evans Field and go sledding. Jeff Proposki finds the keys to the light pole and done. People bring hotdogs, hot chocolate, kids, and sleds and this is what Evans Field looked like on Sunday night.
Jen Keough backed way up to get 99 people in the shot.
