Students in Grades 6 through 12 this school year: Audition for our advanced Youth Theatre Troupe Musical: The Addams Family!

The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Students must audition for this pre-professional advanced theatre group.

        Service Project

        Central Florida Community Arts exists to serve and build community through the arts. With our mission in mind, our Youth Theatre Program students for each production have the opportunity to participate in a service project to benefit another non-profit organization in Central Florida - and to build friendships and bond with their castmates! These service projects are carefully selected to align with the message of the story that our students are telling on stage.

        For this production, we are partnering with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation’s Halloween Funds the Cure! Our cast members will be creating beautiful decorative pumpkins, and we will have a Pumpkin Auction at each show for audience members and family members to bid on! All proceeds will benefit the Halloween Funds the Cure initiative.
