Summer of Fun: The Addams Family (Part 2/2)

 Opening weekend of The Addams Family: Adaptive Edition was filled with a lot of back and forth and a lot of fun! We decorated the house to fit the mood, hosted a dinner with family before the Saturday show and stayed up way later than I was used to! 

Eva and I had lots of family and friends coming to each show. Opening night, my friend Erica from WALH and my respite worker Connie came to see the show as well as my friend Dylan from Camp Createablity and now a Penguin Alumni and Janelle, a former Camp Createability employee.

Saturday night was definitely my biggest night audience wise. I had a bunch of family join us from out of town. 

Sunday afternoon was a bittersweet closing show. While I didn't have a crowd as big as Saturday, we still had a few good friends come for the final performance.

I was so excited that my best friend, Parker was able to make the trip up with her dad to see the show, even if I was falling apart by the time she found me.

These next few pictures are of a few friends I had the pleasure of performing with and just a few of my personal favorites I didn't include in my previous post. Maya was an incredible Bride Ancestor and Xavier was the best Pugsley I could've asked for as Wednesday.

It was such a fun experience and I can't wait for Mary Poppins next year!

Summer of Fun: The Addams Family (Part 1/2)

This summer I was cast as Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family musical that Penguin Project put on. It was a lot of hard work for 5 months of rehearsals, but it was so much fun!

My mentor, Maddie was amazing! She was a huge help with learning lines, blocking, vocals, and choreography. 

I absolutely loved my costumes for the show! I had some amazing props as well!

 

   

The set was so cool! It was amazing to see everything coming together on stage.

One of my favorite scenes was 'Pulled'. It was one of my biggest scenes and I spent lots of rehearsals working on it. During the last show, the wheel fell off, but I was able to keep going through the scene!

One of the biggest and most rehearsed scenes was 'Full Discolsure'. We spent a good chunk of practices just working on the blocking! I'm really happy with how well it went.

Another one of my favorite scenes was 'Crazier Than You'. It was even more challenging vocally than 'Pulled" because I was moving around the stage more.

I had such a great time and everyone in the cast was amazing! I can't wait to share more about this show in my next post!
