The Addams Family Move Into Hamilton

Performances October 14 - 29 Stage 284 Mainstage at The Community House

“They're creepy and they're kooky mysterious and spooky, they’re altogether ooky, The Addams Family…

When people come to see ‘em, they really are a scream…”

Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday and Pugsley Addams, America’s favorite dysfunctional Family, along with the rest of their clan have packed the Packard and are heading to Stage 284 at The Community House in Hamilton for 11 shows from October 14 -29.

The Addams Family is a humorous spin on every father’s worst 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 how she’s feeling. 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.

This original story will bring all your Addams Family favorites back from the dead for a night to remember! Bobby Kerrigan (Director), Joe Stroup (Music Director) and Kelly Murphy (Choreographer) have outdone themselves with this undertaking creating a twisted tale that’s sure to haunt you with belly laughs long after it’s performed!
