From the iconic finger snaps to the curtain call, Drama’s production of “The Addams Family”– the first high school production of the play in Arizona–keeps its audience hypnotized. A love story told through music, dance, and comedy,  the show is Perry High’s best production yet.

The cast is composed of students with varying experience in theatre. Each cast member contributes their individual creativity and hard work to the show. The cast’s strength is their ability to work collaboratively, keeping the show running smoothly and efficiently.

Through their talent, students were able to bring the classic members of the famous Addams Family back to life, as well as the ancestors. The entire show never had a dead moment and constantly kept the audience on the edge of their seats. Even in the saddest moments of the show, there was always a funny line to keep the audience alive.

The set, designed by students, perfectly complimented the performance. From a main house of varying reds and blacks to the cemetery in Central Park, the sets envelop the audience, grounding the kooky action on stage.

Through the set and talented cast, the audience is easily engaged with the story being portrayed. The story of love, marriage, secrets, and acceptance is beautifully presented, a fitting reward for three months of rehearsal and effort.

Once again, the drama department has put on a charming comedy that is fun for the entire family. The Addams Family has two more shows on Oct. 30 and Nov. 1 at 7pm.
