The Addams Family Young @ Part Our drama and voice students are hard at work preparing for their upcoming performances of The Addams Family Young @ Part.

The musical is based on the characters created for the famous TV show with a few additions and a few surprises for the familiar characters.

The full Broadway musical has been masterfully turned in to a one hour performance created especially for young people to sing.

Directed by Bronwyn Berman and with Music Direction by Adam Wills the performances are shaping up to be something special. Three performances only.
