After Preview Night for Seniors, Educators, Youth, & Active Military
THE ADDAMS FAMILY—a delightfully dark, hilariously twisted celebration of family eccentricity—returns to Palo Alto Players! In this original tale, every father’s nightmare comes to life: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen head over heels for a charming, intelligent young man from a “normal” family, one her parents have never met. Full of macabre charm, quirky antics, and heartwarming family love, THE ADDAMS FAMILY proves that the strangest of families are sometimes the most lovable—and their adventures are a feast for anyone who enjoys laughter with a touch of the delightfully bizarre.
THE ADDAMS FAMILY is made possible thanks to the generous support of Show Sponsor Ron Frederick and Associate Show Sponsors JR and Jennifer Matthews.
*While The Addams Family is a musical comedy, true to The Addams Family brand depicted in television and film, it contains dark humor, innuendo, and playful scenes with weaponry.
