Drama Club casts Addams Family musical, presents show in March

Noah Parrott, Reporter

The Addams family, a beloved Broadway musical will be presented by Monroe High School students from March 18-20 in the auditorium.

The musical, based on the famous comic strip and TV show, is going to be about a family of kooks and creatures living in a spooky mansion in Central Park. They live happily until the daughter, Wednesday, who  has just turned 18 years old, fell in love with someone turning the Addams household into chaos.

“The play was picked by Sue Sacks last year, and I liked it so much that  I decided not to change it,” Alison Drougel said who is the new director of Drama Club and the director of the play.

Sacks retired this September, but is still doing the choreography for this year’s play. Drougel said she is also a big fan of the musical, “The Addams Family,” and said that she is excited for this year.

“I have loved plays ever since high school and have participated and directed many plays. I am very excited about this one in particular,” Drougel said.

Other staff members will be helping out with the play as well. Jessica Harmon will be assisting, Cate Windelborn will be helping with music and Travis Trombley will be helping with producing.

“I am in charge of marketing for the play. I basically advertise everything,” Trombley said. “I have taught and played in many musicals as well.”
Having people who have experience in this type of field is important, Trombley added.

The cast is excited to get started.

“I play Lurch, who is a manservant to the Addams family,” Fred Shipp Jr. said about his role in the play.

Lurch is a character in the play that is a funny part in the musical. Drougel said, “He (Fred) is a perfect fit for Lurch.”
