(BELMAR, NJ) -- The Artist Collective Troupe will present their fall musical, “The Addams Family,” October 20-22, 2023 at Belmar Elementary School. Join your favorite creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky family for this hilarious musical just in time for Halloween.
“The Addams Family” is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, featuring an original story and it’s every father’s worst 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.
“The Addams Family” production team consists of Eric Pertgen (director), Marie Bickerton (music director), Ariana Centamore (choreographer), and Chelsea Carlson (assistant director).
In keeping with ACT’s mission to give back to the community, proceeds from “The Addams Family” will be donated to Operation Chillout, a nonprofit organization that helps support homeless veterans in New Jersey.
