DIRECTOR ’ S NOTE
Dear Audience Members,
Welcome to our production of The Addams Family: School Edition! We are so delighted to have you join us for an evening of laughter, love, and a healthy dose of the delightfully bizarre. The Addams Family have been charming audiences for generations with their peculiar humour and gothic charm, and it is such a pleasure to bring their world to life on stage with our wonderfully talented cast and crew. The Addams Family: School Edition tells the story of what happens when Wednesday Addams, the ultimate daughter of darkness, falls in love with a perfectly ordinary boy from a perfectly ordinary family. When the two families come together for a single fateful dinner, chaos and hilarity ensues. But beneath the dark comedy and spooky atmosphere lies a story that is deeply human. It is about love that defies expectations, families that clash and reconcile, and the courage it takes to be yourself in a world that often asks us to be someone else. In today’s society, where the pressure to appear “normal” or to fit in can be overwhelming, The Addams Family: School Edition feels more relevant than ever. The Addamses remind us that there is no single definition of normal, and that our quirks, flaws, and eccentricities are what make us truly unique. Their unapologetic embrace of who they are (oddities and all) is a message of cceptance that speaks powerfully to audiences of all ages. As we have worked on this production, I have been continually inspired by the creativity, humour, and enthusiasm of our cast and crew. They have approached this show with open hearts and fearless imagination, embodying the spirit of the Addams family themselves. It has been a joy watching them take risks, support one another, and create a performance that balances both comedy and warmth. Before I sign off, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped make this production possible: our talented students and dedicated staff. This show is the result of their countless hours of effort, passion, and collaboration. And now, dear audience members, as the moon rises and the shadows lengthen, we invite you to enter the weird and wonderful world of The Addams Family. We hope you leave tonight reminded that it is our differences that make life beautiful, eerily, and perfectly complete.
