Auditions & Crew Interviews: The Addams Family
2026-05-13 17:00 - 20:30 UTC | Encore @ Cherrydale, 3701 Lorcom Ln, Arlington, 22207, United States
We’re welcoming a new family to Encore. Meet The Addams Family! Wednesday Addams falls in love with a ‘normal’ boy and brings his family home to meet her delightfully eccentric relatives. When the two families come together for one unforgettable dinner, secrets spill, tempers flare, and love works its unexpected magic. Full of humor, kookiness, and heart, this musical celebrates family, acceptance, and embracing the people you call home… even if they’re a little unusual. Recommended for ages 8 and older.
