Theatre Tuscaloosa To Hold Open Auditions For THE ADDAMS FAMILY
Auditions will take place on August 23 and 24, with callbacks on August 25.
Theatre Tuscaloosa will hold open auditions for "The Addams Family" Aug. 23 at 6 p.m. and Aug. 24 at 3 p.m. with callbacks tentatively scheduled on Aug. 25 at 1 p.m. in the Wilson Carr Rehearsal Hall on the Martin Campus of Shelton State Community College (9500 Old Greensboro Road, Tuscaloosa, AL 35405).
In this hilarious musical adaptation of the eccentric, creepy-but-kooky Addams family, Wednesday Addams, the princess of darkness, sees the light and invites her boyfriend, Lucas Beineke, and his family to pay a call on the Addams for a "normal night." Wednesday has a secret; she and Lucas are engaged. Wednesday tells her father, Gomez, about the engagement, but she asks that he hide this secret from his lovely wife, Morticia, and the rest of the family. Madcap, musical mayhem ensues as young love tries to bring the wildly different families together.
Stacy Alley, leads this production as director and choreographer. She is joined by Henry Lewers, musical director; Ashlyn Lambert, stage manager; Jeanette Waterman, costume designer; Therrin Eber, scenic designer; David Jones, lighting and sound designer; and Ava Buchanan, hair and makeup designer.
"'The Addams Family' kicks off our 'Making Theatre Magic' 2024-25 season," Theatre Tuscaloosa Executive Producer Tina Turley said. "Staging this show at the Bama will be a magical experience, and I know whatever cast Stacy assembles will be show-stopping!"
