Director's Notes
Welcome to St. Andrew’s 2025 Mainstage Production of Beetlejuice.
I would like to begin by thanking the Cast, Crew, and Parents who have committed their time and energy to making this production a reality. The joy, discovery, and dedication demonstrated by all those involved onstage and behind the scenes have truly been remarkable.
From the moment we first said his name three times, this show has been an incredible journey filled with wild energy, dark humor, and an undeniable heart. At its core, Beetlejuice is a story about embracing life—even in the face of death—and finding family in the most unexpected places.
A special recognition goes to our three senior actors, Marisol Babcock, Nadya Doscher, and Erin Zimmerman. These incredible actors have been a part of every production since their freshman year. Their commitment, talent, and leadership have been an inspiration to our entire theatre family. Watching them grow as performers and as people over the years has been one of the greatest joys of my time as a director. This show is not just another performance for them—it is the culmination of countless rehearsals, friendships, and unforgettable moments. We are beyond grateful for everything they have given to this program, and we will miss them immensely.
To our audience—thank you for joining us tonight. Theatre is nothing without those who come to experience it, laugh with it, and be moved by it. So sit back, get ready to shout Beetlejuice three times (but, you know, maybe not out loud), and enjoy tonight’s performance.
It's showtime!
