Millbrook Playhouse Youth Ensemble Presents THE ADDAMS FAMILY, A NEW MUSICAL

Millbrook Playhouse Youth Ensemble will bring the kooky and creepy fun of "The Addams Family, A New Musical, Young @ Part" to the stage along with a pre-show party called the Millbrook Monster Mash.

From October 31st to November 3rd, the Millbrook Playhouse stage will be transformed into the wonderfully weird world of the Addams Family. This all-new story, based on the characters created by cartoonist Charles Addams, puts the Addams clan to the test when outsiders come to dinner. Witness the hilarity and heart unfold as the family faces a night that will change their lives forever.

This production stars the Millbrook Playhouse Youth Ensemble, which includes a talented cast of local youth actors: Charlie Snook (Jersey Shore) as Gomez, Emily Schreffler (Bellefonte) as Morticia Addams, Seth Geyer (Mill Hall) as Uncle Fester, Adalind Parker (Beech Creek)  as Grandma Addams, Addison Wynkoop (Bellefonte) as Wednesday Addams, Charlie Meloan (State College) as Pugsley Addams, Connor Kleckner (Mill Hall) as Lurch Addams, Thomas Geyer (Mill Hall) as Mal Beineke, Emma Roos (Bellefonte) as Alice Beineke, and Trevor Campbell-Tubbs (Bellefonte) as Lucas Beineke. Rounding out this the crazy kookie cast is Camryn Segura (Avis), Makaelyn Polk (Lock Haven), Hartlyn Kiess (Lock Haven), Lexie Bowman (Lock Haven), Mikaela White (Lock Haven), Kathryn Farrall (Lock Haven), Amelya Sox (Lock Haven), Sierra Kolk (Bellefonte), Caroline Smith (Bellefonte), Casey Sims (Lock Haven), Katherine Winkleman (Renovo), Lily Klugh (Jersey Shore), Sarah Long (Lock Haven), Claire Walker (Mill Hall), Kenzi Boyle (Lock Haven), Maura (Mo) DePasquale (Bellefonte) and Clair Nestor (Lock Haven) as the Addams Family Ancestors!

Deener on Props Design, Ericka Conklin on Lighting Design, Kaidyn Rogers on Sound and Stage Management.
