TexARTS Sets Spring Youth Productions

Recognized throughout the region for their top-quality performing arts education programs, the TexARTS Musical Theatre Academy presents two pre-professional productions this April.

The TexARTS Teen Musical Theatre Academy for ages 13-18 presents "The Addams Family" April 2-3 and 9-10. Directed by Matthew C. Burnett, this new musical comedy features an original story, and it's every father's 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. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's 'normal' boyfriend and his parents. Performances will be held at 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 3 and 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 10.

The TexARTS Youth Musical Theatre Academy for ages 7-12 presents "Legally Blonde Jr." April 23-24 and April 30-May 1. Based on the MGM motion picture, sorority girl Elle Woods follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law in order to win him back. Along the way, Elle realizes her own potential and sets out to prove herself to the world. Co-directed by Cassie Eckerman and Kate Gibbens, performances will be held at 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 2:00 p.m. on Sundays.
