Participants in the Kids’ Theater Workshop range in age from 8
to 18, and they learn all aspects of theater both on stage and
behind the scenes. The kids participate in building and painting
the set, gathering props, costuming, lighting and sound, as well
as stage managing and producing shows. Many of the kids go on to
college theater arts programs and local community theater shows.
The
Addams Family Young@Part 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 weren’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. The whole Addams Family, based on the hit television
series, gets involved, including all the ancestors.
The
cast includes Peter Dudley as Gomez, Emma Molloy as Morticia,
and Trinity Morse as Wednesday. Benjamin Marcotte will play
Uncle Fester, with Christopher Tedcastle as Pugsley, Spencer
Griffin as Lurch, Julianna Hodson as Grandma, and Benjamin
Tedcastle as Cousin Itt. Abraham Marcotte will play the role of
Lucas Beineke, Wednesday’s new love, and Cecily Schultz will
play Alice Beineke, his mother, with Joe Molloy as Mal Beineke,
his father. The Ancestors will include Isabella Cottrell, Damon
