CHARACTERS

​

THE ANCESTORS - Ghostly members of the Addams family throughout history who are summoned once a year to celebrate with the family. Acting as a type of greek chorus, they drive the action of the show by helping Fester, offering advice, and interacting with characters throughout. A reminder that family is eternal, even beyond death. Heavily featured

​

​​​GOMEZ ADDAMS - A suave man who adores his wife and children above all, and takes immense pride in being an Addams! Gomez finds himself trapped between his daughter and his wife, being forced to hide Wednesday’s big secret from Morticia. Great comedic timing, and a Spanish accent a plus!
 

MORTICIA ADDAMS - The beautiful and mysterious head of the Addams family who believes strongly in family tradition. Morticia is unnerved thinking that Gomez is hiding something from her, and will use any tactic to get the secret out. Strong willed, witty, and elegant with a side of dry wit, she is deeply devoted to her family. Great comedic timing and tango skills a plus!

UNCLE FESTER - The narrator of the show and everyone’s favorite Addams uncle, Fester is lovable, eccentric, childlike, enthusiastic and highly incorrigible. A hopeless romantic, he tries to help Wednesday, and finds himself in his own unique love story along the way. Great comedic timing and ukulele skills a plus!
 

GRANDMA - The wise, wacky, slightly deranged and sometimes crass Addams grandma, she always has a trick up her sleeve! Full of potions, spells, and bizarre advice, she brings comedic chaos wherever she goes. Though she claims to be Gomez’s mother, no one is quite sure whose relative she really is. Great comedic timing a plus.

​

WEDNESDAY ADDAMS - The gothic big sister of the Addams family with her father’s heart, and her mother’s sensibility and wit. She is the princess of darkness, all grown up. She has fallen in love with a “normal” boy and, having brought him home to meet the family, experiences all the drama that comes with first love. Smart, strong willed, and passionate, she carries the duality of her dark nature with her desire for love and acceptance. Great comedic timing a plus.

PUGSLEY ADDAMS - The youngest of the Addams Family who loves to be tortured by his big sister! He is lost trying to figure out his place in her life now that Wednesday has a new boyfriend, and worries about losing his sister’s affection. Charming, mischievous, and sometimes sadistic, he takes matters into his own hands in order to keep his sister. Great comedic timing a plus.

LURCH - A man of few words, he is the Addams family butler. Slow-moving, deep-voiced, dead pan, and communicating only through moans and groans, Lurch’s presence is unmistakeable and commanding. Strong non verbal storytelling abilities and great comedic timing a plus.

MAL BEINEKE - Lucas’s uptight, business minded father and Alice’s cold shouldered husband. Meeting the Addams with skepticism, he finds them much too bizarre for his liking, and cannot fathom being related to them. While he starts off stiff and judgmental, he later reveals a wilder side.

​

ALICE BEINEKE - Lucas’s sweet but quirky mother, and Mal’s wife. She is strongly devoted to her family, and has a tendency to speak in rhyme whenever she’s emotional. During their visit, she goes from prim and proper to learning to unleash her wild side. Great comedic timing a plus.

​​

LUCAS BEINEKE - Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend from Ohio. Sweet, sincere, earnest, and a little awkward and dorky, he has fallen in love with Wednesday and intends to marry her. Though he does everything he can to prove himself, he struggles to find the balance between his family and the macabre Addams. Comedic and heartfelt.
