The third
show of our "Season of Laughs" is the musical comedy The Addams
Family. It will be produced August 10 – 12 and 16 – 19. Director Ric McFadden will have two
sessions of auditions for all roles in the show. The first session will be Sunday,
June 4 at 3 p.m. to be followed by a second session on Monday, June 5, at 7
p.m. Both sessions will be held on the Main Stage at the Hazel Day Longden
Theatre.
The characters are the same as you might remember: Gomez,
Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Lurch, Uncle Fester, and Granny. This time around, the unsuspecting
Beinecke family has been added including parents Mal & Alice and son,
Lucas.
The show is very reminiscent of the original television
series you may have seen.
The plot revolves around Wednesday who has fallen in love
with Lucas, a normal" boy. A dinner
at the Addams House is planned where the families will meet for the first time. Wednesday confides in her father Gomez, that
in fact, she and Lucas are already engaged. Gomez must hide the information from his wife
Morticia. The dinner ensues with much hilarity
and fun for the audience.
Auditions will include singing (16 to 24 measures
please), reading from the script, and dancing.
Prospective cast members should attend either audition date but not
both.
