THE ADDAMS FAMILY: A NEW MUSICAL

Book by MARSHALL BRICKMAN and RICK ELICE Music and Lyrics by ANDREW LIPPA. Based on Characters Created by Charles Addams.

You probably are familiar with the THE ADDAMS FAMILY from the movies, television or even the many single-panel cartoons created by Charles Addams for The New Yorker. This Spring, the Rhinebeck H.S. Drama Club is proud to present, THE ADDAMS FAMILY, A NEW MUSICAL, School Edition, a musical comedy that embraces the wackiness in every family through characters that we have all come to love. 

It's every father's nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness and owl of her father's eye, 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. 

Don't miss this comical feast and an evening of entertainment that is sure to help lighten your mood!

THE ADDAMS FAMILY School Edition has been adapted from the original Off-Broadway Production by TRW.

The RHS Drama Club is happy to be back on the stage this year after a full year of remote productions due to the pandemic! Throughout the year, students have a multitude of opportunities to participate in theatre, attend related workshops, or simply meet to discuss theatre. Each year, students from Rhinebeck High School Drama Club go on to study theatre in college, or work in related fields.

Each show is completely student-run, giving students opportunities to learn backstage crafts including set building, painting, and stage management and the technical skills of lighting and audio. This year, the Spring Muscial is Directed by Sabrina Cahenzi, with Musicial Director, and Conductor, Marla Ulrich and Choral Director, Kaylee Kelsey.
