Nazareth Academy is proud to present The Addams Family, a magnificently macabre musical comedy that brings the well-known and loved TV family to life.

Wednesday Addams has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. She 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.

“It’s a great show for the Halloween season,” says the Director, Mrs. Kim White. “I think the audience will love the ghoulish theme and the fun of it.” In fact, Nazareth will welcome kids in the audience to wear costumes to the Sunday performance, which also offers a Ghoul Brunch and trick-or-treat with the The Addams Family cast (separate admission).

Performances are: Thursday – Saturday, October 22-24 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, October 25 at 2 p.m. All seats are reserved at $15 each.

Ghoul Brunch and trick-or-treat with the The Addams Family cast on Sunday, October 25, 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 per person and must be reserved by October 22.

Reservations can be made by calling 708.387.8537. All performances take place in the Romano Family Theatre at Nazareth Academy, 1209 West Ogden, La Grange Park.
