'The Addams Family' Musical Auditions; Community Players Of Concord Information Night

CONCORD, NH — For its fall musical, the Community Players of Concord will present “The Addams Family Musical,” a comical feast which embraces the wackiness in every family.

The show features the beloved Addams Family characters struggling to adjust when the now grown Wednesday, the ultimate princess of darkness, falls in love with a “normal” young man from a respectable family. Imagine the “spooky” chaos that results when he and his parents are welcomed to a dinner party in the Addams home!

The Addams Family Musical, the first mainstage production of the Players’ 98th season, will be performed from Nov. 21 to Nov. 23 at the Concord City Auditorium. It will be directed by Betsey Cox-Buteau with musical direction by Michael Shaw and choreography by Allyson Thorpe.

This will NOT be a typical Players audition. Auditioners will be asked to register in advance by completing an online audition form before audition night. Those interested in auditioning are strongly encouraged to go to https://communityplayersofconcord.org/auditions-addams-family-musical, for audition requirements, the registration form, synopsis of the show, character descriptions, audition sides, preferred musical audition pieces, and an audition dance video. There will also be an Information Night; an ideal opportunity to register for auditions, learn more about the show, meet the creative team, and learn the dance steps.

Information Night will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 11, at the Community Players’ Studio, 435 Josiah Bartlett Road in Concord. The directing team will be there to talk about the show and the audition dance will be taught.

Auditions will be held at the Community Players’ Studio, 435 Josiah Bartlett Road, Concord, from 5 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17, for children (who appear to be 10 to 13 onstage) auditioning for Pugsley (boys with unchanged voices and girls who will play a boy are welcome) and 6 to 9:30 p.m. on Sunday and Monday, Aug. 18, for adults. Please make every effort to arrive on time. If needed, callbacks will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 20.
