The Addams Family musical is inspired by the illustrations of legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, who in his prolific, six-decade career created thousands of cartoons, most popularly the darkly bizarre yet endearingly deranged family of ghoulish oddballs. In this chapter of the Addams Family saga, daughter Wednesday (played by Jennifer Fogarty) has fallen in love with a caring, intelligent and normal guy, Lucas Beineke (Bryan Welnicki), to the horror of her father, Gomez (Jesse Sharp), who has been requested to keep the secret from his beloved wife, Morticia (KeLeen Snowgren). In typical Addams fashion, everything spirals out of control when the Addamses decide to host a dinner party to meet the new boyfriend and his parents. Through witty and macabre lyrics and dancing, the musical brings the comic characters to life. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range between $20-70.
