The Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre will present “The Addams Family” from Friday through May 1.

The comedic musical will be held at the Stage at Island Park. Tickets cost $12 to $18, depending on the seats.

“The Addams Family” is the classic story that’s been told for generations. Audiences loved the story when it came out as a television series in 1964, a new crowd loved it was revived as a series of movies in the ’90s and now it is available for us to enjoy through the theater.

All the typical Addams family remakes and reboots star the same few characters: Gomez Addams, the crafty and optimistic father, Morticia Addams, the beautiful and contemptuous mother, Wednesday Addams, the sadistic sister and Pugsley, the monstrous brother.

In the Fargo-Moorhead Community Theater production of the show, the plot follows Wednesday as she falls in love with a boy from a respectable family. The pairing is unlikely, due to Wednesday’s dark and psychopathic tendencies contrasted with her boyfriend’s sweet and innocent qualities.

When Wednesday tells her father about her new love interest, Gomez must take on the impossible challenge of keeping a secret from his wife. Eventually, the Addams family has dinner with Wednesday’s boyfriend and his family where tensions will inevitably rise. Nothing will be the same after that eventful meal.

This production will be performed at the Stage at Island Park in downtown Fargo. This particular theater offers a partial stage in the round, giving the audience a chance to see the action from a large variety of angles. Those going should expect lots of strong singing performances mixed with a dash of comedy.
