I'm very excited this year to be a part of the high school musical and the high school play along with Mr. Brettingen and Mr. Van Der Pas as an assistant director. Below is the information you will need for both elements:
Musical: The Addams Family
This year's musical is a script that has already been on Broadway and features a very popular film series from the 1990s: The Addams Family. This works well in conjunction with the new film coming out in theaters in October. The synopsis is as follows:
"In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, to be sad is to be happy, to feel pain is to feel joy, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams. Nonetheless, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates the focus Lippa, Brickman, and Elice’s musical: the Addams kids are growing up. The Addamses have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years and Gomez and Morticia, the patriarch and matriarch of the clan, would be only too happy to continue living that way. Their dark, macabre, beloved daughter Wednesday, however, is now an eighteen year-old young woman who is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family — the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change."
Rehearsals are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 5:30 - 7:30 until the performance. There will also be a retreat on Saturday, September 21st from 9 -3.
