Rehearsals start immediately after casting, Rehearsals are typically Monday to Thursday from 7:00PM to 10:30 PM and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to Noon at either Hopebox or Brightstar Academy. As we get closer to performances, we may add extra times and possible Fridays.
Our pro team will let individuals know if they are called that week as far in advance as possible, but plan on rehearsals just to be safe so we can have everyone we need at rehearsal when we need. We will try not to call anyone who is not in scene/number. Tech rehearsals are typically a week or two before opening.
When you are cast, you will get a rehearsal calendar with approximate dates and times.
Cast Descriptions:

(All roles are available and some roles may be double cast)
Gomez Addams: Male, (Age 40-59)
A man in his prime, of Spanish descent with a wild Iberian passion. Takes great pride in being an Addams and revels in all that means. Tango Dancer. Requires great comedic timing and baritone to high G.
Morticia Addams: Female, (Age 35-59)
Attractive, in shape, holds the balance of power in the family. Calls for a sexy, dry wit. Dance experience a plus, but not required, with lower mature womanly sound (alto/mezzo soprano).
Uncle Fester: Male, (Age 29-60)
Narrator of the piece, has a hugely energetic, charismatic with joyous childlike presence. A vaudeville comedian with high tenor vocals.
Wednesday Addams: Female, (Age 16-25)
Strikingly similar to Morticia but is experiencing a bit of a personality crisis. Experiences the youthful drama that comes with first love–Lucas can actually put a smile on her face. Low belt with high E possible.
Grandmama: Female, (Age 35+)
Appears age 102, but a feisty 102; fun, adorably dangerous, but don’t mess with grandma. Surprisingly resourceful and sprightly. Comedic actress with strong character vocals.
Pugsley: Male or Female (Age 10-18)
Age 12ish but can be played by older actor; charming, funny, husky boy who loves being tortured by his sister. Lower child’s range or woman’s mid-range.
Lurch: Male, (Age 18+)
Age 35 and up. A very tall male character, the Addams' butler who knows all. He speaks in moans and groans (some tinged with irony or exasperation) and moves slowly. Character actor with a low bass vocals to Eb.
Colonel Mal Beinecke: Male, 40-60
Father to Lucas. A stuffy military man, a man who must be obeyed, exasperated with his rhyming wife. Always looking out for his family. Mid-range baritenor.
Alice Beinecke: Female, 40-60
Mother to Lucas. Quirky, devoted to her family, so she puts aside her own desires. At the Addams Family dinner party, drinks a potion that causes her to let her hair down and speak her mind. Voice range up to G#.
Lucas Beinecke: Male, 18-25
A writer, classic codependent, feels good when everybody’s happy. Experiences the pain and drama of young love and struggles with the differences between his family and the Addamses. Contemporary pop tenor vocals.
