THOUSAND OAKS, CA – Young Artists Ensemble presents THE ADDAMS FAMILY, School Edition directed by Autumn Bodily with Musical Direction by Susan Treworgy-Calkins and Choreography by Whitney Grubb. Performances are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays November 1 – 17, 2019 at the Hillcrest Center for the Arts, 403 West Hillcrest Drive.
Addams Family: School Edition begins when Wednesday Addams has fallen in love with a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family — the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! To make matters worse, she has invited him and his family 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.
ADDAMS FAMILY: School Edition is the first production in Young Artists Ensemble’s 39th Annual Family Theatre Season.

Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, November 1 – 17, 2019
