The University of Central Arkansas Public Appearances season will continue with “The Addams Family Musical” at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18, in the Reynolds Performance Hall.
“This will be a trip back in time for many audience members because every family grew up watching the ‘The Addams Family’,” said Ashley Love, director of finance and marketing for UCA Public Appearances. “It will reintroduce you to your favorite characters. It should be a fun night.”
The musical will have two acts divided by an intermission. Act One will be one hour and 10 minutes; Act Two will last 55 minutes. The intermission will last 20 minutes.
According to tafontour.com, “The Addams Family” tour for North America is produced by Phoenix Entertainment, Stephen B. Kane and Michael McFadden, by special arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide. The production is under the direction of Jerry Zaks, who has directed more than 30 performances, according to the website.
“The Addams Family Musical has a very elaborate set, and I have been told that the actress who plays Wednesday Addams is a great vocalist,” said director of Public Appearances Amanda Horton. “It is a very labor-intensive set for our technical staff.”
The cast consists of 20 actors and actresses who travel worldwide to perform. Jesse Sharp, Keleen Snowgren, Jennifer Fogarty and Connor Barth play the four Addams Family members in the musical.
