Growing up in the ‘60’s, who didn’t love watching the Addams Family every week on our black and white televisions? It was new, it was very different and we grew to love this bizarre family who cared so much for each other.

Well…..They’re Back…

Yep, all those crazy characters that we grew to love-Morticia, Gomez, Lurch, Uncle Fester and Grandmama are back, along with those two adorable kids, Wednesday and Pugsley. Times have changed, children grow up and Wednesday has fallen in love…”with a normal boy”. Talk about having problems with the in-laws!

What happens when outsiders come to dinner at the mansion? Well, the events of one evening will change this family forever.

Welcome to the Addams Family.

A special thanks to the incredibly talented Warner Stage Company team for this, and all of the wonderful productions that you bring to our stages.

Be sure to check out our 2015-2016 Season. Tickets are on sale now.

As always, thank you to you, our patrons for being here today and supporting live theatre.

Sincerely,

Lynn GelorminoExecutive Director

With the Support of

They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, They’re all together ooky, The Addams Family.

They are neat, sweet and petite. They are also very cool and a lot of fun.The Addamses are a satirical inversion of the ideal American family; an eccentric, wealthy clan who delight in the macabre and are unaware, or do not care, that other people find them bizarre or frightening.

Even though the Addamses were originally cartoon characters which appeared in the New Yorker magazine, many of us will remember either the 60’s TV series or the 90’s movies. The series often employed the same type of zany satire and screwball humor seen in the Marx Brothers films. It lampooned politics, the legal system, Beatlemania, and Hollywood . The movie explored the darker humor of the Charles Addams characters. The musical picks up where the the TV series and movie left off and continues to entertain only as a Addams can.

Come join us, We are going to pay a call on the Addams Family.

Enjoy!
