After 10 years in its current location, Wylie Acting Group (WAG) improved its theater in time to debut “Beetlejuice Jr.” with a fresh look.
“We started this renovation right around the middle of March of 2025 … it was our 10th anniversary of actually being part of renting this space,” said Amanda Sturgeon, board of directors president and co-director of “Beetlejuice Jr.”
Founded in 2010 under the leadership of Del Kinzie, WAG spent its early years moving between different buildings before settling in at 205 West Industrial Court next to Wylie Printing & Office Supply. WAG turned the empty warehouse into a theater by adding walls, a stage and a sound booth.
This year’s renovation is the first set of major updates made since the theater was originally built.
