Experience all the classic hits you know and love in this larger than life production!
Right - Morticia Addams (Grace Peebles) and Gomez Addams (Sean Krueger) wonder where they went wrong when their daughter falls in love with Lucas, a normal boy! “The Addams Family” contains all the zany antics you expect from the most lovable and macabre family around!
The Westfield Area High School is proud to present their production of “The Addams Family” this weekend. 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’s 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 eighteen 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 Beinekes 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.

November 2nd-4th the doors open at 6:00PM with the show starting at 7:00PM, and November 5th the doors open at 1:00PM with the show beginning at 2:00PM.

This weekend Montello Senior High School is proud to present their production of “Grease”. The 1950’s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be rebellious, provocative and rebellious. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko (Joe Vote) and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski (Izzy Plog). They had a secret romance in summer, but now back in the context of school, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool dude status and still get make demure Sandy his girl? The whole gang sings and dances around Danny and Sandy’s romance, through such hit songs as "Greased Lightnin'", "We Go Together”, and “Mooning”, recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.
Tickets are available at https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/76932 or at the door. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors 65+ and performances are at 7pm on November 2nd, 3rd, and 4th and at 2pm on November 5th.
