Shippensburg University’s Act V student performers are bringing “The Addams Family Musical” to the university and local community. The musical is based on an original Broadway script.
Last semester’s “Death of a Salesmen” displayed the rich drama skills of several SU students. Now the skills of Tyler Marshall, Gillian Bradshaw, Matt Peck, Tyler Law and others will be brought out in a fun, light-hearted comedy about family, love and Gothicism.
For this story, Wednesday Addams is all grown up and has fallen in love with a boy named Lucas Beineke. But, she begs her father, Gomez, not to tell Morticia out of fear that her mother will ruin the engagement.
“The Addams Family” is known primarily for the ever-binding love between Gomez and Morticia.
They are a couple that lives for each other, and one can bet they are not used to keeping secrets. Keep your eyes pealed for a rare conflict ensuing.
Marshall, who will be playing Gomez, said he is “excited to put on a great show with my fellow students and it should be an amazing experience. Act V is a talented group of people willing to share with the community.”
There will be four showings: April 30, May 1, May 2 and May 3 in the Memorial Auditorium.
The first three shows will be at 8 p.m., and the final will be at 2 p.m. Admission for SU students is $5, and general admission is $10.
