SUMMER THEATRE PRODUCTION - THE ADDAMS FAMILY
(Grades 3-8)
Actors in grades 3-8 will work together to create quality, age appropriate productions
suitable for family viewing. Auditions are required in order to be a part of the cast.
This will allow us to assess the comfort level of children as performers, evaluate their
skills and find the role that will best suit their personality and talent. There is no cost
to audition. Children will be seen in small groups during their audition time slot. They
will be asked to sing 16 bars (measures of music) of a musical theatre song, to learn
a short dance with their group and perform it, and possibly to read short scenes from
the script (called sides). They will fill out a short audition form listing their possible
conflicts and any previous experience, and will have a digital photograph taken for
the artistic staff's reference during casting. Casting will be based on availability,
ability and attitude. Cast members will be enrolled in the program as a class and
must pay a participation fee. This fee covers professional instruction throughout
the process, a copy of the script which performers may keep, a cast t-shirt and all
production costs.

ABOUT THE PLAY!
Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and
fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family whom
her parents have never met. She 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 lovely wife, Mortitia. Everything will change
for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's
"normal" boyfriend and his family.
