THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family– a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
Thirty-six students have been cast in this production, with junior Padraic Frazier as the patriarch of the Addams family: Gomez Addams. Senior Aurelia Sullivan is his captivating wife and sophomores Isabel Waelchli and Porter Brown will be playing their children, Wednesday and Pugsley. Junior Coleman Boyesen is Wednesday’s secret fiance, Lucas, and his parents are senior Gareth Mergen and junior Ariadne Vlachodionysopoulos. Rounding out the Addams Family are Uncle Fester (sophomore Tait Asplundh), Grandma (junior Zachary Ruth) and Lurch (senior Solomon Nobre).
