A comical feast embracing the wackiness in every family, The Addams Family, the school version has an origin story that is every father's nightmare. Wednesday Adams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and falls in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents never met.
And if that wasn't bothering enough, Wednesday obeyed his father and begged him not to tell his mother. Now, Gomez Adams must do something she's never done before - keep a secret from her beloved wife, Morticia.
Everything will change for the whole family the night they host a Wednesday dinner for the "normal" boyfriend and his parents.
The cast includes Caleb Kabakjian as Gomez, Grace Pfeiffel as Morticia, Colin Rost as Uncle Fester, Elizabeth Lebow as Wednesday, Ava Wolfersberger as Pugsley Adams, Amber Floyd as Grandma Adams, and Maximilian as Lurch. Includes Ponton.
The show marks the directorial debut of Penn Manor choral director Lauren Simiewicz.
Best wishes to everyone involved in this upcoming show!
