Addams Family Opens March 16
The Chardon High School drama program takes the stage March 16-19 with its spring musical production of The Addams Family: School Edition at Park Auditorium 111 Goodrich Court.
Adapted from Charles Addams’ cartoons, The Addams Family features the Addams, a rather eccentric family with a taste for all things gothic, as they receive some very shocking news; their daughter is dating someone normal.
The play kicks off with the Addams inviting the Beinekes over for dinner after Wednesday Addams, a gothic and unique young teen, and Lucas Beineke, a young teen crazy about Wednesday, fall in love.
The families are certainly in for an interesting night, complete with a seemingly fun game after dinner. What could go wrong? Will the Addams be angry when they find out a member of the Beinekes, the normal and bland family from Ohio, has proposed to a member of their family? What hidden secrets will be revealed?
Come join the Chardon High School drama program to find out — complete with fun, music, and laughter.
Evening shows are March 16, 17, and 18 at 7:00 p.m., and the matinee is on March 19 at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for students and senior citizens and $15 for adults. In-person ticket sales are March 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, and 15 at Park Auditorium from 4:30 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. Online ticket sales begin on March 6 at 8:00 a.m. through the District’s ticketing page at https://www.chardonschools.org
