MLWGS Drama Presents: ‘The Addams Family,’ February 27-29, 2020

Inspired by the Charles Addams cartoons, THE ADDAMS FAMILY explores the most unthinkable nightmare ever faced by this spooky, kooky, and ooky family: Wednesday Addams falls in love with the sweet, smart, “normal”, Lucas Beineke. With secrets kept and potions concocted, both the Beineke and Addams family must attempt to accept their children’s love for one another even if it means breaking tradition. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
