Messalonskee Players to Perform ‘The Addams Family’
October 29, 2017 Lake Region Reader, Turner Publishing
The Messalonskee High School Players bring “The Addams Family” to stage from Friday, Nov. 17 through Sunday, Nov. 19, at the Messalonskee High School Performing Arts Center.
The shows are at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 3 p.m. on Sunday.
The dark humor of this dysfunctional family reminds us that love conquers all. Wednesday trades her pigtails for an engagement ring and hilarity ensues when her boyfriend’s Ohioan family meet the dark and sinister members of the Addams clan.
Storms, ghostly ancestors, rhymes, the color yellow and love.
It’s all there for the older fans of the 1960s TV show to reminisce over while introducing younger members of the audience to the darkly comedic family.
The performance is under the direction of Shelby Thibodeau, an alumna of the Players. In addition, the Players are pleased to welcome as the new musical director, Mike Peterson, a long time music teacher in the district.
Tickets are $5 for students and seniors, and $10 for adults.
