In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, to be sad is to be happy, to feel pain is to feel joy, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams. Nonetheless, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family, Their dark, macabre, beloved daughter Wednesday is now an eighteen year-old young woman who is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable family — the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse, she has invited his family to their home for dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change.

At the heart of it all, our goal is to produce shows with high entertainment value, that dazzle the eye, engage your mind, touch your heart, and hopefully, bring you to your feet at curtain call.
How is this accomplished time and time again with non-professional actors/staff? First, we create an environment where people with no experience feel as equally heard and seen in the audition process as our seasoned repeat actors. Over the following 8 to 10 week rehearsal period, they are stepped through a carefully planned growth process where they are mentored by the creative staff, encouraged by their fellow cast mates, and ultimately, are fully prepared for opening night. Layer that with all the behind-the-scenes volunteer workers creating their magic, and that is how we replicate our success from show to show.
