Praise for The Addams Family

SJCT’s production of The Addams Family – Tim Dustrude photo
They’re scary and they’re ghastly,
but also weirdly classy,
They’ve come to San Juan Island,
The Addams Family.
For your own entertainment and to support the San Juan Community Theatre, I hope you will not miss THE ADDAMS FAMILY, on stage from May 6-21.
This is a fantastic production full of bizarre touches. Last night’s audience was enthralled and, in my opinion, witness to one of the cleverest plays we’ve seen on the Whittier stage. Gorgeous (and ghoulish) costuming, amazing staging, wonderful music and choreography, sets to die for (so to speak), and a cast of characters striving for excellence. They were all so good that it doesn’t seem right to single anyone out. This lavish effort from so many talented friends and neighbors is a success on every dimension.
A gushing review for this play is unavoidable, and well-deserved. I think THE ADDAMS FAMILY deserves the most enthusiastic reception we can offer.
PLEASE, go see it!. SJCT is a gift to all of us and THE ADDAMS FAMILY continues the tradition of outstanding local theater. Fabulous job!

I heartily second & THIRD that motion! The Addams Family Musical–what a heartwarming & inspiring example of the powerful blessing of community theatre! PLEASE don’t procrastinate–order your tickets NOW & encourage your friends, family & colleagues to do the same. This fantastic show–which represents so many hundreds of creative, dedicated hours by so many in our community– deserves to be seen & appreciated. Sadly, it doesn’t last forever–in fact it closes Saturday, May 21st. COME & SAVOR!
Remember there are two Pay What You Can Thursday nights this year! This week on May 12 and May 19th. And kids’ Student Rush tickets are always $5 an hour before the show! Cheaper than a movie!
