Even the Addams family is being affected by quarantine. Beginning Thursday, the Grand Rapids High School theatre department will perform âThe Addams Family â Quarantined: A Dramatic Concert Versionâ at the Wilcox Theater of the Myles Reif Performing Arts Center. Performances will run Thursday, April 29 through Saturday, May 1.Â
The original, âThe Addams Familyâ musical is described as a âcomical feastâ and embraces the wackiness in all families. Daughter Wednesday Addams, known as the princess of darkness, falls in love with a respectable young man who has never met her parents. Wednesday confides in her father and asks him to not tell her mother, making Gomez Addams do something he has never done before, keep a secret from his wife Morticia. Everything changes when the Addams family hosts a dinner for Wednesdayâs boyfriend and his parents.Â
