Killester College, in association with Origin Theatrical, is proud to present this spooky festival of fun. Based on characters created by Charles Addams, Book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa, THE ADDAMS FAMILY is a comical feast.

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: the Addams kids are growing up. The Addams Family 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 18-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 Beineke’s 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.

Featuring a talented cast and crew from Year 7 to 12, this production promises to be a celebration of the talent and creativity of Killester students that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
