Faces a lot of nerves when under pressure, causing him to sweat profusely. He still yearns for Deloris after all these years, and dreams of being her hero.
SISTER MARY ROBERT (18 - 25): A postulant, abondandoned as a baby and raised at the convent. Shy and soft-spoken, but singing with Deloris lets her find her voice. Her wallflower lifestyle has made her live a shell of a life.F#3 - A5
SISTER MARY PATRICK (30’s – 40’s): Consistently perky, enthusicastic, and easily excitable. A little plump. G3-E6

THE ADDAMS FAMILY
James Vasquez: Director
Randi Ellen Rudolph: Musical Director
Karl Warden: Choreographer
GOMEZ ADDAMS: Caucasian man, 50s. A man in his prime, of Spanish descent and a wild Iberian passion. Adores his wife, takes great pride in his children, and, in the larger sense, in his family. He’s very much about what it means to be an Addams. His desire for Morticia is undimmed after 20 years of marriage, and it takes very little to fire up his lust, although it appears they haven’t tango’d in quite some time. Must have great comedic timing & strong tenor voice. LEAD (OFFER PENDING)
MORTICIA ADDAMS: Caucasian woman, 40 - 50s. Holds the balance of power in the family; often seems like the only emotionally mature member of the clan. Beautiful and aristocratic, the real head of the family and the critical and moving force behind it. Always sees the best in people; it somehow comes off as strength rather than naïveté. She enjoys being the center of all the sexual energy in the room. The most horrible thing in the world to her, truly unsettling, would be admitting that one day, inevitably, she’ll be (choke!) a grandmother. Must be a great dancer who is funny and sings well, alto/mezzo soprano. LEAD
UNCLE FESTER: Caucasian man, 40s – 50s. The narrator of the piece, Fester is child-like, hugely enthusiastic and totally incorrigible. A vaudevillian, needs strong comedy and tenor voice.
WEDNESDAY ADDAMS: Seeking actress to play age 17. Character is a Caucasian girl. Romantic lead, a sexy, young version of Morticia. Needs a great pop/rock style singing voice (Think Avril Lavigne) and a witty, DRY sense of humor.
GRANDMAMA: Caucasian woman, 50s – 70s. Ancient. Good-natured, easily led. Very active for her age, she's like the ladies you see in Fairway, of indeterminate age, but you don't get in their way or they'll run you over. Character singer with strong humor.
LURCH: Caucasian man, ageless. A man of very, very few words, often spoken at half speed. Most of what he utters is long, plaintive groans, some tinged with irony or exasperation. Lurch sees everything, knows everything that goes on under the roof of The Addams Family manse. Must have a TRUE low bass voice. (OFFER PENDING)
COLONEL MAL BEINECKE: Caucasian man, 45 – 50. Military man, a man who must be obeyed, with little patience for his wife and son. Wants to be bigger than Trump, and he'll lie, cheat and steal for acre of swamp. Musical theater baritenor voice.
ALICE BEINECKE: Caucasian woman, early 40s. She truly loves her husband and loves that he takes charge; removing any responsibility from her for making decisions. However, since he has become more distant, she has taken to drink. She has refocused her love to her only son, Lucas. Must be very funny and sing well.
LUCAS BEINECKE: Caucasian male, 19. A writer, he has conflicts with his father's closed-minded ways. Fell in love with Wednesdayat first sight. A classic co-dependent, Lucas feels good when everybody's happy. Needs to be a great pop/rock singer.
