Kenston Center Stage’s production of “The Addams Family” is happening this weekend.
Performances are 7 p.m. April 13 and 14, and 2 p.m. April 15 in the Kenston High School auditorium. Tickets are available online at kenstonlocal.org/khs/ and at the door, one hour before each performance.
Emily Leone supervises another popular recent Broadway production with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. Directors Julie Green, Emily Leone, and Shannon Wirthwein bring the original story for the stage to life. The plot surrounds the macabre Addams family of Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester, Grandmama and Lurch who are well-known to fans of the original comic and 1990s Hollywood film and its sequel.
“We are so excited for everyone to come see this sharp-witted and visually striking show!” says Leone, who is the choreographer and assistant director. “My directing team and I are extremely proud of this hard-working group of students and we feel that it is quite apropos to open this particular show on Friday the 13th.”
“Being stage manager has been an amazing experience that has broaden my horizons and emboldened me to continue a career in theater and to encourage others to join as well,” says senior stage manager Kaila Walker. “I am grateful to have been a part of the Kenston Center Stage Family.”
Even if they are positively ooky.
