The Addams Family Auditions
“They’re creepy and they’re kooky… mysterious and spooky… they’re all together ooky… THE ADDAMS FAMILY!”
Tupelo Community Theatre presents The Addams Family – A New Musical Comedy April 25-27, 2019!
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. 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.
