The Addams Family
The Addams Family School Edition . A New Musical Directed by Dana Caldwell
A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Welcome to Laguna Blanca’s 2024-25 production of The Addams Family! Thank you to the Laguna Blanca School Board of Trustees, Administration, Faculty and Staff for your unwavering support of the Performing Arts Department. With a special thanks to our Family Association Theatre Liaisons Talya Engel and Teresa Michaud and our student, faculty, and parent volunteers! And my boundless gratitude for the artistry and efforts of our Production Team, whose tireless work behind the scenes have created this wildly wonderful world in Spaulding Theatre. Congratulations to the entire cast, crew, and orchestra who have dedicated their time and talents to bring this story and these characters to life (some quite literally who you will soon see on stage!) This is a show to remind us all that lying just beneath the surface of what divides us, the bonds of family, of love, and our shared humanity, unite us all. And now, we invite you to “move towards the darkness” with us and enjoy the show!
