About The Addams Family
Unlabeled Theatre Company presents THE ADDAMS FAMILY. In typical UTC fashion, this version will be unlike any other you've seen on either television or on the stage. Get ready to experience our unique “shadow partner” staging model as we reimagine this contemporary classic.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family. Based on the 1938 comic by Charles Addams, THE ADDAMS FAMILY is an old-money clan who delight in the macabre and grotesque, and who are seemingly unaware that the rest of society finds them odd and bizarre. Everything changes for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for their daughter Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his Midwestern parents.
Performed on the intimate Andy Boss Thrust Stage at Park Square Theatre in downtown St. Paul, you will immediately feel a part of this kooky family. Attending a UTC show is easy and accessible. There is plenty of parking around the theatre and numerous restaurants operate within walking distance - and two are located in the same building as our performance.
Unlabeled Theatre Company
Here at Unlabeled, we believe in unified theatre performances. Why does the world insist on separate programming and institutions based on abilities and disabilities? Unlabeled is here to change that standard by casting shows with two people in almost every role. One artist - who has a cognitive and/or physical disability or is neurodivergent - is paired with a neurotypical “shadow partner." Together, they create their role and performance. Every partnership is different and unique.
Our mission is to use live theatre to provide performing, vocational and life skills opportunities for adults (18+) with disabilities.
The work of our organization models and helps create a more inclusive world. Unlabeled Theatre creates opportunities for theatre artists with disabilities, and for volunteers and community members, to experience what people with disabilities can do. Our productions allow people to truly be seen, and to be genuinely included.
