JCC Theater Programs

From acting workshops to musical theater performances, we have options that suit all walks of life and are open to both members and non members. The JCC cultivates a community of actors who support each other’s personal and creative growth. The JCC is producing a musical this fall just for students ages 8–18 years old, as well as a fall play exclusively for ages 18 and up. In the spring, everyone comes together for a full-scale musical for all ages. Students who are 8, 9, or 10 years old who want to participate in the spring musical must have participated in a theater class in fall 2025, attended theater summer camp 2025, or have participated in the fall musical.

Fall Junior Production

JCC Members & Non Members | Ages 8-18

Our junior level production gives performers, ages 8-18, an opportunity to learn, grow, and shine! Participants MUST register in advance to audition. All registrations include 2 tickets to the final performance and an exclusive show t-shirt.

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.

Created for the generation that made it a hit, Beetlejuice JR. is a wacky theatrical party for all! A viral “sucks-yes” on social media, this musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty.

Fall BLACK BOX Production: "Rumors" by Neil Simon

JCC Members & Non Members | Ages 18+

Chris and Ken Gorman arrive at a fancy dinner party for their friend, Charley Brock. They discover that all is not well, and that Charley has had an accident involving a shotgun and his earlobe. This could be damaging to Charley’s reputation, as he is deputy mayor of New York City. Chris and Ken’s friends begin to arrive. As they attempt to cover up the facts, hilarity ensues. Neil Simon’s Rumors is a charming farce with lots of gags, twists, zingers, and zanies, but it also borrows from Simon’s life experience to depict the challenges, as well as the comforts, of married life.
