"It’s been a night of darkness. Everything’s changed. And the new, extended family understands: The unknown may be frightening, the darkness overwhelming, but if we don’t run from it, we may see our mysterious, miraculous lives finally illuminated. If we move toward the darkness, we might find love and acceptance. For when it is dark enough, we can see the stars."
- Rick Elise on The Addams Family Musical
The Addams Family first premiered on television in 1964 capturing the world with its perplexingly macabre and incredibly humorous take on life through watching the Addams Family interact with each other and with "normal" people. It has since been adapted into blockbuster movies, a musical, and most recently with focusing on the daughter Wednesday, a major hit television series on Netflix.
Our cast and crew has worked tirelessly over the past 2 and half months to bring the Addams Family to life and push themselves to develop stronger as performers on stage. We are so thankful for them and for our small, yet fierce, crew for all they have done to put the show together from building set pieces, painting, sewing, so much hair and makeup, and all of the technical aspects that go into a successful production.
Enjoy our spring 2023 production of The Addams Family, and we cannot wait to announce the 2023 - 2024 performances with you!
- Ronnie, Mr. T, and Ms. Graber
