THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family—a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before—keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Auditions will be Friday, September 12th from 5-7pm at Real School Derry.
What to expect on Audition Day:
Auditions are nothing to be afraid of – in fact, they are really fun! One week before auditions, all fully registered cast members will receive their audition materials including songs and scenes as well your Audition Form. This form should be completed before auditioning and asks about things like what experience you may have, what roles you would like to be considered for, etc. Students often audition in groups rather than alone and this gives the Director time to teach each student what auditions look like. Don’t worry – no memorization is necessary and there will be no cuts!
If you have not received your audition materials within the time frame mentioned, please reach out to your Director or Front Desk team.
What to expect with Casting:
Casting will be completed prior to the first rehearsal after the audition and the list will be sent out by email by the Director. It’s important to know that not every actor will receive the role they want, but they will still have their own space to shine in their role and all actors receive a role. As part of the Audition Form, students indicate that they agree to play the part they are cast in. We encourage students to keep the role they are assigned as our productions are centered on learning the process of putting on a show and to build performance skills. No part is too small and no role is more important than another.
